Man Orders Artist To Paint His Portrait For Free Because His Son ‘Has Cancer’, Gets The Response He Deserves
An anonymous Spanish ‘artist’ recently uploaded a conversation he apparently had with a fan who asked for a commission.
We all know that artists dedicate an awful lot of time and hard work to their craft, and very often don’t get the compensation they deserve. This artist had clearly had enough, and after claiming that this particular portrait would take 3-4 days to complete, refused to budge on his asking price. That didn’t deter this plucky fan however, and what was to follow was a barely believable exchange that quickly descended into farce, with the fan using increasingly desperate tactics to try score himself some free art.
Scroll down to check out the shockingly distasteful conversation for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments! (Cover image: Lucius Kwok)

Lying about the illness of a close relative is probably as low as a human can sink. This person is so much of an as***le that he already is to be pitied. Good to see that the artist did not join the game but took this with patience and dignity.

Imagine that he's not lying and he's son is really sick... then he's trying to get a free artwork taking advantage of his dying son. Whatever what the truth, he's definitivly an a*s****

Telling the person whom you're asking a favour that they are not good enough to do that favour for you is totally gonna get you the deal. Some people just don't know how logic works.

But it is the foundational principle of negging. "I'm gonna be mean to you and tell you that your (boobs/face/art/ bartending skills/xyz) are c**p and barely within my radar so you throw yourself at me in a desperate attempt to prove me wrong..... I don't understand why anyone would do anything at all with a random stranger who walks up and is casually insulting to you out of nowhere, but I guess it works for some people.

Why is the word artist in quotes in the intro paragraph? (‘artist’) In doing so, the person who wrote the article is questioning the artist's credibility... just like the jerk buyer did. Nice writing, 'author'... (see what I did there?)

He's that bad trying to get free artwork, imagine the BS he spews trying to get laid.

Well, he apparently uses the 'negging' technique to get what he wants. His pick up lines are probably a laughable attempt at cruelty, easy to see through as the pitiful attempt it is, and never successful, no matter how drunk or desperate the person is.

Ugh this is exactly the reason I stopped commissioning, they call your art c**p but still want it, and when they are still b****y they go straight to the cancer trick. It makes people who actually have family with cancer feel like s**t.

I can't fathom why we protect these clowns and don't just shame them, defamation is a thing, but if it's truthful they should just be exposed. The lack of punishment is why these people exist. If you keep protecting the guilty the innocent will stop being so innocent.

Amazing, the "client" used about all the guilting excuses in the book.
