EXPLAIN:
I commissioned Batten for two pieces, a one character and a two character, on Apr 8th, 2011, 11:02 AM. The total came out to $25 and I paid it via paypal in full on Apr 8th, 2011, 11:01 PM. I recieved my first commission May 20th and since then I have not gotten my second piece or heard from the artist after sending them notes to both accounts. I don't mind if it takes the artist a while to complete something, because I understand things happen outside of our control sometimes, so long as they let the commissioner know what's going on, or that it's going to take them some time/they will be unavailable etc. However, I haven't received a single note from them or a reply to notes I have sent them. Since it's past 45 days, I can't dispute it via paypal -_- Any advice? :s I know it's just $15 but that could have gone to a more responsible artist :S

You should post the email address so people are aware if they ever do a search it will bring them to this journal.

I would think the artist's name would be enough. :/

sort of OT but he owes a lot of people art trades still:

He didn't really follow up that last journal it seems. :/

Anyways, it looks like his last activity was a week ago on his adult account..

Yeah, I'm not too sure if they would want any of that info revealed? :s It just so happens they got back to me about an hour or so after posting this and they have been inactive due to housing issues. They guaranteed my commissions [which are apparently already semi complete] to be posted this Friday .-.

I hope it works out.

I'm still in the middle of an art trade with them. Initiated in mid-March, did my half like a few days later, and still waiting on his half. :\

I did send them a note in early July asking what was up. He answered that he was having some school troubles but was too embarrassed to bring it up in public. I have the note on hand if it's needed.
