Popular Post Benedict Judas Hel Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Here is an 11” x 17” artwork by Arthur Sudyam I received today that I commissioned from Comic Art Fan’s Comic Art Live event in May: *Full disclosure: He didn’t package it very well (not sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard) and artwork arrived with a crease going across the top third of the art. I love the piece and the crease brings it down a bit...

Webhead2018 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That is why we all should specify how we want things ship. So bents rips and bad mailers. Really like with books you need to pack it well. Make sure in snug and packaging can't bent or fold and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I use the same heavy cardboard envelops that Heritage uses along with 3 pieces of cardboard inside. Yes they cost more than sandwiching 3 priority mail boxes together. But I have yet to have a piece damaged in one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sad how often we see this happen. I don’t think she shipped it. I never had any contact with Arthur, only her (Renee). When I e-mailed her about it and suggested to her that Arthur may want to package any future art better, she said she would pass it on to him. She went on to offer me advice on “steaming” the piece to possibly minimize the crease. Below is how the crease looked when it arrived: Edited July 21, 2020 by Benedict Judas Hel D2, celluloidbuff and Twanj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I told Renee other collectors would not be as forgiving as I was if they received a commissioned piece in this condition. It does suck that the piece arrived with this gigantic crease and I am disappointed but I’m hoping that when I get around to framing this piece, my framer will be able to minimize the crease or possible even eliminate it.

I hope so too.. I just know myself. for what commissions go for now a days (no clue what you spent) I would expect some kind of remediation by them or get my money back.

It definitely looks awesome. I love horror art and combined with my 2 favorite commission subjects, it was bound to shoot up to the top of my favorites list. I sure hope that framing will help. I will leave it to the professionals to do the best they can. I sure as hell know I don’t trust myself to attempt anything!
