quikthnkr/Rob Tracy's Guide to Never Getting Another Freelance Artist & Winning at the Internet
Did your inker mysteriously disappear from your totz awesome, no pay job? Need a new inker for free? Just ask yourself, what would Rob Tracy (a.k.a. quikthnkr) do?

1. Post your request on DA. In the Paid Job section.
2. Argue when people inform you of the rules. (Rules are like, opinions, man.)
3. Grudge against artists who want to get paid for their work.
4. Grudge against previous co-workers.
5. Argue with people who give you solid advice.
6. Insult possible volunteers.
7. Calmly explain that the poor economy means that artists should be grateful for no pay, dead end jobs.
8. When all else fails declare yourself the winner.

Thanks to anon's wank report.

Secondly, art is neither a service you pay for nor a right.

What does that even mean? I cannot parse this.

Secondly, art is neither a service you pay for nor a right. It is a commodity.

But... a commodity is something you pay/trade for isn't it?

Okay, I have to ask--if that post is against the rules there, and the OP has such obvious disregard for the rules, is there not an admin who can close/move/delete the post?

I know we wouldn't have the delicious wank then, but I'm just surprised that someone doesn't bring the smackdown. "I'm a mod, and I say you can't post NO PAY jobs in the FOR PAY forum. GTFO."

And lasty... at least I know how to spell flavor and color properly.

V. classy, dude. You do know that spellings in American English are not The One True Spelling, right?

I think this really sums up his whole attitude, though:
You should be honored that I'm taking time to insult you.

And I unloaded my venom into every one of your asses. Aaaaaand now all I can think of is VENOM COCK. Which was way funnier and less face-punch inspiring than this guy.

You know how sometimes someone asks what a word means, and it's hard to express exactly the flavor and colloquial meaning of it?

This, my friends, is a douchebag. Perhaps even Plato's quintessential douchebag, of which all other douchebags are merely a shadow.

According to the guy's DA, he has been seeking some fool inker since the end of july.

I just can't fathom why nobody is taking his awesome offer despite him being so important. It's a complete mystery.

Haha! Wow! I saw this earlier on DASnark. I wanted to punch this guy through the internet even then. My default failsafe is that I only read replies to him, not his actual posts to avoid too much rage.

Fun thought, though, this guy should team up with that Dr. Who nut from a few posts back. He could make his book and that guy could sell it! Then they'd have the perfect storm of creators and customers hating them! Bonus points if they blame all the stupid, lazy, fat women when the books don't sell.

Here's a protip for you. Coming into a thread where I'm forced to once again defend an offer I've made (this is what the 3rd or 4th time I've had to deal with this crap... and only at this site where artist entitlement is in direct opposition to artist talent level) and accusing me of being an angry teenager is going to get you the same slapdown I've been handing out to everyone else.

"Slapdown" = "extended twine about how badly life has been treating you"?

I did not know that.

This thread may double his site traffic. Clearly a victory, then.

Actually psychology generally accepts that people do not actually work for money and once their basic needs are met the motivation for work goes to completely different motivations.
Umm don't you need money to meet your basic needs?

It is an opinion. It's your interpretation of the rules.

I plan to start using this with all my teachers. I just know it will go over well.


You can implore me all you want (by the way I don't think that means what you think it means)...You tried to use the word "implore" sarcastically. In text. On the internet. That mah frien be comedy gold. And the fact that you knew what it means and still tried to say it sarcastically, in text, on the internet.

I think this is my favorite part: he thinks that just by saying he's smarter than everyone, people will get intimidated and run up the white flag. And if you just say things with a serious-enough face and a condescending-enough tone, it doesn't matter if they don't make any sense! People will just take your word for it.

Oh no, wait. Here is my favorite part!

Oh and "having a cry"?[...]::snort:::[...]Ahahhahahhhhahhhahaha. As if. Oh Lord. That is... as if I could care about... oh man. I don't know if we will be able to do better than that folks. ForgetDeny just suggested I'm crying over what you idiots have been saying in this thread. I don't know if anything more absurd can be said.

"I don't care! HAHAHAHAHAHA~! See how loud I'm laughing and how much I don't care!? Aren't you embarrassed, because you said something and then I didn't care!?!? Since I care the least, that means I win! And I said 'I win!', which means it's true!"
