Guys, I wanted to find out if anyone else is having problems with their commission requests from Larry Stroman.
After reading of the happy resolution of similar commission problems with Larry in another forum (Collectors Society), I reached out to him in November 2012. He was quick to answer and we agreed on the price for a set of commissions. I sent him a 50% downpayment in December 2012 and he said that the commissions would be ready "soon". Then he stopped answering all my emails. I sent one about once a month, so it's not like I was bugging him incessantly.
After I asked for a refund on April 2013, he replied saying that the art would be ready in 3 days. It's now been more a month and he's gone silent again.
Via CAF, I've learned that another collector, from Spain, has the same problem. He paid Larry for an X-Factor commission in December 2012 and has not heard from him since.
I'm a big fan of Larry's work and so this behavior is really bothering me. What's more galling is that he's been posting art for sale on CAF. The last one, a Batman, was posted on May 10th (5 days ago).
Please let me know if you are in the same boat. Perhaps we can come up with a concerted effort to get this resolved.
