If someone has the power to pull your piece then they should have been given the opportunity during the creation process to okay the design, otherwise tough luck.<br /> Were you paid for your time? Or was this a total volunteer job? I have done "charity" pieces for the BC Lions Society, but there were strict rules about symbols, such as flags, as they can carry so much meaning for people. Designs were discussed before creation. I was paid a fee for my time, and then signed over the piece to the organization.<br />Thanks for sharing your story. It's a good learning experience and one to keep in mind when we do work for others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574561881557236257.post-4634456645757324842013-07-17T10:23:55.870-07:002013-07-17T10:23:55.870-07:00Thanks friend!

Congrats on your current exhibit as well!<br /><br /> We were recently talking about prints and cards etc... After seeing this I thought you should also consider doing small 8 x10 originals - just like quick water color sketches or pen/graphite drawings similar to the style above. They would offer another price point for your customers who want to own an original rather than a print, but perhaps cant afford a large canvas piece. Anyway, just planting thought seeds. ttylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574561881557236257.post-85460066168028461542011-10-26T09:01:14.324-07:002011-10-26T09:01:14.324-07:00Thanks Jamie-Lynn, I'm going to take more on a...Thanks Jamie-Lynn, I'm going to take more on a semi-regular basis, i like it too!Jon Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282682433038197811noreply@blogger.com
