Chicken or Egg? Who is to blame when a gig flops?
You’re having a party, you want an entertainer, so you go to an Agent and pay for a caricaturst, but they turn out to be sub-standard; who is to blame?
I had this report from a fellow caricaturist;
“I`ve just been talking to a guy about a caricature artist he recently hired. He said that the artist was crap and they he booked the artist via an agency. He didn`t have a name for the artist. I told him that I put in a quote for this job. He told me that he thought that my fee was to high, but he now wishes that he had booked with me………. The booking was 10 minutes from my house!”
The client was let down by both the Agency and the Artist, who frankly shouldn’t have been put forward by the Agent. On the other hand, if the client wants to pay peanuts, then he shouldn’t complain when a monkey with a pen turns up!
Folks, this is further proof, you get what you pay for. Simple rule for life; CHEAP IS NEVER GOOD!
