On 3/18/15 I corresponded with Jim Crantas regarding a Graphics Design job I posted on Craigs List. We emailed a couple of times, exchanged #'s, then talked on the phone. During our initial copnversation he strangely asked me if I supported President Obama, of which nothing that I am associated with would suggest that. Being an artist who is progressive/libertarian/anti-corporatist and who campiagned for Ron Paul twice, I humored him and told him I don't support corporatists. He said "good, because his son was in the military and he couldn't do business with anyone who supported Obama" , yet he knew nothing of Ron Paul, which I found laughable.
I sent him the specifications for the graphics design, of which he said he would do for $250. I asked him to draft a contract, to which he responded, that I do it. I figured ok, maybe he's busy, but that should have been red flag #2. I drafted a simple contract, and asked when can you start the job, and he said "I'm on vacation , but I can work drunk". Red flag #3.
I corresponded with him two days later, (more than 2 weeks after he bid for the job, and agreed to do the job,) asking him to sign the simple contract and if he was going to commit to it, to which he resonded "I'll pass". Don't waste your time with this horrible excuse for a Graphic "Artist".
