This is not a place where I broadcast my sour grapes - and I do not want it to be - but an intensely bitter taste was revived when I spotted these icons lying forgotten in a dark and musty corner of my hard drive.

I was once contacted by an "interdisciplinary design firm with offices in L.A. and S.F." to create graphics for a high-profile organization for which they were involved in developing some sort of thing. I did so, tweaking them twice per interdisciplinary design man's specifications. In the end, the high-profile organization elected not to use the icons. However, interdisciplinary design man failed to voluntarily disclose that information and only did so after I contacted him a couple of times wondering what exactly was going on with the project. The payment promised - a reduced payment because high-profile organization didn't use the art (which was an arrangement never mentioned previously) - never arrived. Even after a couple of additional promises the monies never materialized. That wasn't the only time I got shafted regarding being paid for my work - and certainly it won't be the last - but for some reason it really stuck in my craw.

I think that demon has now been sufficiently exorcised. Thank you for your patience!

You should have taken the bastard to court, particularly with a contract. Keep up the good work...

I would say "That's why you should always get a signed contract," but that would be hypocritical of me, having been very lax myself in the Signed Contract Department.
