a couple of weeks ago, i got a text from a number i didn't recognize late one evening. here's kinda how the conversation went down.
"i need a painting of a clown holding a bell pepper. i also want this buddhist mantra on it somehow. pain is certain, suffering is optional."-unknown
"ok. i can do that. who is this?"-ghost
"chris. sweet. what would something like that cost me?"-chris
"i'll do it for you for 125."-ghost
"let's make it 200, and i'll send you half now and half when it's finished."-chris
"you suck at negotiating, but ok. it's a deal."-ghost
anyway, as per a request from phil plasma, here's what came of all this. the best part of commission work isn't the money, it's the, "dude, you nailed it."
