    Larry Stroman: Reputable?

    in Original Comic Art

    Posted

    Stroman was never on my list of artists to get a commission from. I saw him posting artwork last year on CAF and just decided to inquire about getting a sketch cover done since I was a fan of his X-Factor work as a kid. There was no attempt to circumvent dealing with an art representative and Stroman never alluded to having one. It's only after researching CAF and the web that I found out about others having similar problems and that he had a representative. Would have never bothered with him, rep or not, having known what I do now.

     

    These commission horror stories seem to always involve artists who have to sing for their supper. I really can't understand how an artist who isn't really that popular can justify leaving a fan who has paid for their work in these type of situations. Your fanbase is small enough as it is, you really want to alienate the few hundred people who might support your work...

     

    True. I've had quite a few commissions with top artists and they have always come through. The only artist ever to stiff me for a commission was Pat Broderick a few years ago. I wrote it off as a loss considering how bad I thought his artwork had gotten over the years.
