Thanks for the input guys and gals! Ya, thats about what I expected…I guess living in New England is my problem. People are rude and self centered and just want your money. I have had similar run ins with the “Well, get work, or get out” situation. (Never seen a dog peeing in the studio though!!!!)

And still laughing about the scribbled out line!

Thanks for the reply. When I did my Parrott, I was living in Virginia, and thankfully stumbled across an incredible artist who did the work. I saw his portfolio online first. I have been having a hard time finding online portfolio’s of people around Boston. Is it rude to walk into a place, ask to see thier work, then leave? Even if the first guy I see is great, I’d like to look around to make sure. I have condemplated flying down to Virginia to get to do my other parrot, but I think he prefers color work. I’m still a couple months away, so I have the luxury of time on my side. Unfortunitly, I’m heading out to sea next week, so I won’t be able to do much looking!
