I like the hexagon layout. I'm going to try that on some laser cutter ideas.

What a shocking turn of events. Another mediocre painting and another struggling artist getting stiffed.
I like to imagine that this one has been really struggling through the pandemic. Bills keep pilling up, constant arguments with the wife on what theyre going to do and how theyre going to afford christmas presents for the kids this year. Then one night after a very intense fight with the wife you get a DM on facebook. Someone says they just looked through your work and they want a billboard size marvel picture for their marvel themed room, and if its good enough, he says they will pay any price. You show the DM to your wife in disbelief, your prayers have been answered! You begin working on ideas and coordinating ideas with the client. You share progress pictures during the entire process and the client seems very enthusiastic, never once mentioning any major issues. Then after spending countless hours, effort and resources completing what the client asked, he decides that he has unsolvable issues and no longer wishes to proceed. Christmas is cancelled, sorry Timmy.

To be fair, I'm trying to support local art, but it's just all so bad. I do own 6 paintings by another local art couple/solo (they do some stuff together and separate).
I do feel bad, but this I can't pay top dollar for a bad painting

Agree on a price. Put the money in an envelope. Stop getting progress pictures. When they deliver the painting, tell them to wrap it in brown paper and hand them the envelope before you look at it.To be fair, I'm trying to support local art, but it's just all so bad.

If there's a disagreement after that, you're the one learning the expensive life lesson and not the artist. You're at least 3 deep at this point.....you need to fix the issues on your end.

It may be my end. I finally decided I'm re-arranging some art around in my house and have this big insane abstract alien piece (another billboard sized piece) I'm going to put in that room.

Wow. You are the worst kind of client an artist can get. Just the worst.

You mean refuse to pay an exorbitant fee that is four times greater than the previous fee the same person charged you?

Some of you, including 
Amod
and LLR, are complicit in this. You're naive or stupid if you think Aychamo isn't specifically looking for artists desperate enough to take no-contract work just so he can stiff them for some internet lulz.
Rename him so people know who they're dealing with. Honestly, he should be banned for this thread alone.

This is the best idea. Unfortunately covid
My favorite piece of art I bought, was just on display in a local coffee shop.

What do you base your assumption that he's aychamo on?

Behavioral patterns. He claims to be a doctor but does something moronic like googling "dog dicks". Just quintessential barrel-scraping attention grabbing playing the fool that is Aychamo. I know it's not proof and I also know we're never going to get it. And I also know I'm not the only one to have made this connection.
That said, fucking with someone's livelihood, if that's what he is really doing, is a line too far, regardless if that's actually Aychamo or not.

Absolutely not. He had done a previous 3 foot x 3 foot for me for $450 that came out really well, he picked the image, it looked amazing. A 6 foot x 5 foot is less than 4 times the size, I would have thought the price would be less than 4 x $450, but it ended up being way more. In the text today, he said he thought it should be $4320 ($1 per square inch) then realized it would be way too much, so went down to some formula per linear inch that came up with the $2600 figure. I've just moved my other home paintings around and have filled the void where Groot/Rocket/Thor would have gone, so unfortunately this journey is ending.

I interact with doctors on a daily basis at work. It has shown me that they can be just as stupid as anyone else, they just managed managed to complete the training. Being a clueless human being outside of that training is unsurprising.
On the aychamo claim, I don't remember seeing what Falxy says he does, so I'll have to trust you on that. Plenty of people engage in attention whorish behavior around here, especially nowadays when they may be getting less from other sources. We'll need more than that unfortunately.
Seriously. My sister has done paintings for people in the past. She shows them her portfolio and they always agree to at least a ballpark price beforehand. This is for paintings in the $100 range, not in the thousands. Shame on Falxy for stiffing the guy, but also shame on the artist for not insisting on an agreement before he started his work.
That is assuming this is even true.
