It's good that this situation has reached a happy ending. Over on the John Byrne forum, Gerry has posted a message from himself & Renee saying that the situation has reached an amicable conclusion.

If Golden and his rep were really stand up people, and professionals at their jobs- and if they really insist on taking the money for comissions upfront and will only get around to it after finishing "paying jobs" (thier discription) Then maybe what Mr. Golden should do is take that commission money, place it in a savings account, and let it sit there NOT TOUCHING it, and collect interest. Once he finishes the art work he can send that plus a check covering the interest his payment earned to his customer and then (and ONLY then) take the money he was paid After reading Golden’s response I posted this on another board and thought it’d be worth repeating here:

After reading what Renee posted and now Michael Golden's reply at TCJ: http://www.tcj.com/messboard/viewtopic.php?t=2470 I'm left feeling sorry for Gerry because he's a really good guy, ashamed of Renee and disgusted with Golden.
