He even asked me to 'try and paint like Thomas Kincade". Ew. No thanks. He also promised the book would become an instant bestseller and I would become famous. I felt sorry for the author because he had all these high hopes and dreams for a book I knew didn't have a chance, and I was right.<br /><br />Maybe I'd feel less bad if he hadn't demanded I do 20 revisions on each image, and kept changing his mind about what he wanted halfway through the finished work. I've since wisened up and put a revisions clause in my contracts, but I was a young, dumb, fresh-out-of-art-school graduate who was excited about doing my best with my first job.
