I got bored so I posted on his journal. He really should learn to relax.
Lol, :ilovemycomics: is Kirk Lindo, there is no doubt. I hope this starts a new movement so Publishers like him can't get away with this again.
Oh I don't doubt it. I've never seen someone ge so incensed about defending someone else without having a personal stake in their life. He's either Kirk Lindo or someone very close to him. Or some rabid fanboy. 
Here is my response to Kirk Lindo:
I never missed a deadline. The only problem You had with my first 4 pin up's was how the hair was drawn and you sent me reference so I can get it right, and you even complemented my work after that.
There was no notice or verbal indication that I would be or was ever fired.
Publishers like you should be out of business, you have no morals or ethics, and I have a fountain of support of claims against you that will be published soon. You brought this on yourself, and I expect you won't go down without kicking and screaming, but you will. Doesn't matter how old the claims are either, it is a pattern of your behavior that will be established and up for public record.
Also, I claimed $3.000.00 on my small claim, and was just for all the pin-up's you sold on Ebay and kept the money. That's $100 per page, but I would settle for $1500 if you offered it.

ALso, I have no Idea which pin-up's were used because after the Vamperotica pin-up special, no Artists were given credit in any books after that, and in Buxotica there wasn't even any publishers indica/ address info.
If what he posted about the contract is true (and it might be, I don't feel like reading it all) the terms are draconian and probably wouldn't hold up in court at all. It basically said that the publisher can ask for whatever changes they want and if you don't make them they can simply not pay you and keep everything. That sounds like slave labor not a legal contract.
That's the real contract! I was a genius move because now people can see how Kirk Lindo conducts business. The part about asking for changes doesn't bother me, but he never sent back art for revisions, he was happy with everything I sent from what I remember. If he was not then I should have had art sent back to be reworked to his standards. Here is my detailed response to the terms of the contract [link] In short, Lindo breached the contract himself a few times, and all because he did no communicate.
If he asked for changes, he should return the worj so it could be changed. Revisions are different from redos. He could argue this all day but I doubt it would go anywhere. Not that I have any publishers breathing down my neck for my art but I think I'd avoid Mr. Lindo.
Oh I also that he had 2 comments (one was mine) but both are hidden. Now why would he hide them? There's no slander or profanity in mine. Just innocent questions.
You also have to wonder, if your work didn't meet standards, why publish or sell them? If they did publish the work, did they provide the preview art beforehand like the contract says they should? Ah well, good luck with this, bud.

This is from the contract - "WORK WILL BE CONSIDERED ACCEPTED UNLESS REVISIONS ARE REQUESTED." and that says it all. If revisions were needed he would have had to send back the artwork to be redrawn to meet with his critiques. And that did not happen.
