Re: Things you should know about commissioning

[dazzledfirestar]

Yeah you keep saying there's no contract here. In commonwealth law, there very clearly is. The acceptance of the commission is a contract to complete that commission to the terms set. If you as an artist have put out examples of what those works would be like, that is what your client is expecting. You were paid to do that job and it was not completed. You are breaching that contract. It's really that simple. /law degree talk

This. People think contracts are things which require lawyers and signing things with witnesses. Contracts can be made in writing, through talking, or even just through conduct. I wish more people understood how they work!

I agree with you that there's a contract. The problem is, there are no TERMS. The artist delivered a piece of art and the client paid. Contract done. The client had the right to request revisions, and the artist had the right to negotiate for a higher fee if it was warranted. You're talking about art as if it's like selling a kitchen table, and it's just not.

Re: Things you should know about commissioning

Where exactly does it say that? If you put a post up saying "I will make art for money!" and show examples of the work you do, those examples become the terms of the proposed contract with potential customers. There is expectation of quality involved here and legally speaking, if the quality is so noticibly low, the artist has misrepresented themselves in the contract and the customer is due consideration for that. It's a business and if the artist can't deliver on their side of things, the customer is well within their rights to get the work done properly.

If you want me to dig out textbooks and give you specifics I can, but your kitchen table metaphor is bullshit. You're selling a product. It has to be up to the standard you're claiming you can deliver on.

The comparison here would be hiring someone to paint your house. If they half ass it and make a mess of your house, they have breached the contract. The same applies here.

You're talking about art as if it's like selling a kitchen table, and it's just not.

How, specifically, is it different? You're exchanging a product for money. You show the product at the consumer expects a product that looks like the one you showed them.
