In all honesty, I don't agree with who tells you to not do their trade and pay the other artist with a picture or money.
See, in this, you are - understandably - kinda jumping the gun: you are going on based on what you heard and seen of this person, but they did not do anything to warrant you backing off of the transaction yet, especially considered that the other side of the trade - your 'payment' - has already been done.
I understand why you want nothing to do with this person, but I honestly think you can't refuse to do what you agreed to without a valid reason, and with valid reason I don't mean hearsay or him being a dick to other people. If I was in their place and you backed off because I am a cunt, though I hadn't been a cunt to you (yet, maybe, but you never know) and you already had what I promised you for your time, I would be really pissed.
In this situation I believe the most professional and polite thing you can do is finish the trade and forget about him. If then he gets all rude to you too, welcome to make a new beware, but for now, all I see is you getting your payment and wondering if you should do what you were paid to.
And the answer, for as unpleasant the customer is, should be yes. At least until he does something to YOU that warrants the breaking of your deal.
