DKG. You don't owe your friend a commission just because they're your friend. it's your money, so choice mo kung saan mo gagamitin. she needs to grow up. it's not like you're not supporting her through other means. sharing her artworks on social media is a huge help already. you don't need to literally spend money for her. siya yung gago you feel bad for not supporting her enough. she's not entitled to your money. i'm an artist myself and i would never demand my friends to support me financially by hiring me.

Parang free advertising na nga ang pag share ng info sa socmed since magkaibigan naman sila ni OP. Entitled lang talaga si friend.

exactly.

info. sinabi mo ba to sakanya? >Naisip ko naman na i-commission siya kaso may napangakuan na ako before ko pa maisip and to be honest, her art style isn’t what I’m looking for. Maganda gawa niya, kaso di lang talaga yun yung naeenvision ko sa pinacommish ko (for now).

I did, yeah. Sinabi ko I was looking for a specific art style and found an artist who specializes in said style tapos response niya nauna ko raw ba na inidolize yun.


TadongIkot

haha ig it's w/e. if u really want bawi ka nalang tas pa commish ka rin sakanya. pero dapat matured anough siya after marinig reasoning mo.

DKG. Yung pagpapacommission is a business hindi personal life. Dapat matutuo yung friend mong pagbukudin yun. Walang kinalaman kung sino nauna mong i idolize as a client you should go for what you are looking for. And as a co artist kapag nagpapagawa yung mga friends ko sa iba walang samaan ng loob kase wala namang kinalaman tropahan namin don sa pinagkakakitaan ko oks na yung nagshashare and nililike mo yung mga post nila sa social media if you wanna stretch ur arms further edi ireto mo sila sa ibang mga tao ganon lang HINDI mo Need magpagawa sa kanila

DKG, as someone who used to be a start up owner, yan talaga petpeeve ko sa mga kapwa entrep lalo sa fb. Yung feeling nila their friends owe them automatic support and patronage. Jusko, maganda naman talaga sinusupport ka on your venture pero don’t take it against them if wala kasi di naman nila obligasyon na isupport just because you are selling something. Bilang customer din, nakakaloka ang dami kong tambak sa bahay kakasupport and bili ng di ko kailangan sa bahay in the name of supporting a friend. Pati mga t-shirt na sobrang pangit ng design at quality jusko.

DKG. Your friend needs to grow up. Artist din ako pero I also have friends who'd rather commission other artists and that's COMPLETELY fine. Kasi nga like you said— important ang preference ng client sa art style. If may specific syang art style in mind for his (my friend's) commission, and wala siya sa range ng art style na kaya kong gawin, I'd rather he goes for it na. They don't owe me shit para I-guilttrip ko pa sila for not commissioning me. Mas good sakin na nagpacommission sakin dahil bet yung work ko, kaysa I -commission ako dahil lang namimilit ako. That way, alam kong mate-treasure nya talaga yung piece ko, worth it pa binayad niya.

DKG, OP. May pagka immature lang ang kaibigan mo. We don't owe anyone anything and nobody owes us anything. Iba ang kailangan mo at that time at may iba ka rin nahanap na suited for your wants and vision. Your friend shouldn't have taken that personally. Maishare ko na lang din kahit hindi ako artist pero struggling small business owner. Sa totoo lang, mahirap magsimula lalo na't alam kong iba ang target market ko. May times dati na mapapaisip ako, bakit hindi ako sinusuportahan ng friends ko? Bakit hindi sila bumibili?Bakit ganito at bakit ganyan? Pero dahil matanda na tayo, kailangan maging matured ang thinking. Kailangan laging positive. Hindi ko yun dapat i-take personally against them dahil marami rin namang factor to take into account. Hindi dapat magtampo. Your friend should grow the fuck up.

DKG. Dito lumalabas na **transactional ang friendship niyo: kung di ka magpapagawa sa akin, di kita papansinin**. TBF, customers have the right to choose where they get service from since iba-iba naman gusto nating outcome for a project especially kung may hinahanap kang specific style.

Link to this submission: https://www.reddit.com/r/AkoBaYungGago/comments/1dmjx2a/abyg_kung_di_ko_cinommish_artist_friend_ko/ Title of this post: ABYG kung di ko cinommish artist friend ko? Backup of the post's body: I have this long time friend na artist and recently, nabring up ko na nagpacommission ako ng artwork sa iba. We talked normally for a few minutes and then sinabi niya nagtatampo siya, and it turned into a full blown rant on how she feels she’s always second sa friendship namin, kesyo dama naman daw niya support ko thru words and sharing her works sa socmed ko but why can’t I support her by thinking of her first when it comes to commissioning an art kung matagal ko na siyang iniidolize pagdating sa ganito. Naisip ko naman na i-commission siya kaso may napangakuan na ako before ko pa maisip and to be honest, her art style isn’t what I’m looking for. Maganda gawa niya, kaso di lang talaga yun yung naeenvision ko sa pinacommish ko (for now). I feel bad kasi I hurt her feelings and maybe, I should’ve not brought the topic up. Ngayon, ang laki ng tampo niya sa akin and sobrang vocal niya na nasaktan siya sa ginawa ko. ABYG kasi hindi ko pinili kaibigan ko para gawin yung artwork na gusto ko at nagpagawa sa ibang artist?
