An anonymous Spanish ‘artist’ recently uploaded a conversation he apparently had with a fan who asked for a commission.

We all know that artists dedicate an awful lot of time and hard work to their craft, and very often don’t get the compensation they deserve. This artist had clearly had enough, and after claiming that this particular portrait would take 3-4 days to complete, refused to budge on his asking price. That didn’t deter this plucky fan however, and what was to follow was a barely believable exchange that quickly descended into farce, with the fan using increasingly desperate tactics to try score himself some free art.

Scroll down to check out the shockingly distasteful conversation for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments! (Cover image: Lucius Kwok)

Lying about the illness of a close relative is probably as low as a human can sink. This person is so much of an as***le that he already is to be pitied. Good to see that the artist did not join the game but took this with patience and dignity.

Imagine that he's not lying and he's son is really sick... then he's trying to get a free artwork taking advantage of his dying son. Whatever what the truth, he's definitivly an a*s****

Telling the person whom you're asking a favour that they are not good enough to do that favour for you is totally gonna get you the deal. Some people just don't know how logic works.

But it is the foundational principle of negging. "I'm gonna be mean to you and tell you that your (boobs/face/art/ bartending skills/xyz) are c**p and barely within my radar so you throw yourself at me in a desperate attempt to prove me wrong..... I don't understand why anyone would do anything at all with a random stranger who walks up and is casually insulting to you out of nowhere, but I guess it works for some people.
