Nick Geber Pick's and Parlays; 5th Street Sports This Guy retained my services, and then stole my designs and left me stranded. Las Vegas NV
Nick Geber and I had a prior working relationship, in fact, he was my first client as a budding artist. Things went great the first time around, I did all the work he asked for, and he paid me what was agreed on, and we were both very happy. In fact, he's still using the portraits I did for him on his website.
Nick reached out for me to call him regarding an upcoming job he had for me, and we discussed completely re-doing his podcast studio set, to match his new format.
I created digital renderings of some conceptual ideas, and we discussed at length the details of my trip out there and what the expectations were during my time in Nevada. I booked a flight, and a stay in a hotel, and 2 days before my flight, Nick completely backed out on me. I explained that I had already spent hours of time getting designs ready, and that he still hadn't paid the $500.00 retainer that he offered to secure my services. He said that I should go ahead and come out, and that we would work everything out.
Once I got to Las Vegas, he would not answer his phone, and when I went to his house, I knocked on his door for over an hour, in tears, because I just couldn't believe this was happening to me. To this day he has said nothing to me, and has not compensated me for my time, travel, or other expenses.
