Re: Things you should know about commissioning

[(Anonymous)]

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.

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.

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.
