So I’ve been busting my butt for someone, a client I hadn’t worked with in over ten years because things had gone sour…. and he disputed and won his money back for a comic I’ve been working on. It’s 17 pages of sketches, 6 completed inked pages, and a full cover image.

My paypal is negative $1718 and some coins. I cannot put food in my fridge or gas in my car.

I am clearly not going to be doing business with this person again. I should have trusted my gut and not worked with them, but I needed rent and bills paid and I was desperate.

Now here I am, unable to pay rent, or bills, and clearly I can’t earn anything through paypal until I pay this negative balance.

I’m not sure what to do, but that this point I’m just shocked and stunned.
