Preamble: As a craftsman in multiple fields, I primarily collaborate with friends or artists I admire. My time is valuable, so I prioritize relationships based on respect and trust.
Rule 1: I reach out to artists If I need something, I will contact the artist. Any unsolicited contact from an artist is a red flag for me. Importance: High
Rule 2: No insisting after a refusal A polite negative response means the decision is made. Repeated insistence will move you from a red flag to a blacklist. Importance: Very High
Consequences of Violations: Failure to comply with these two rules will result in being ignored, regardless of the quality or skills offered.
