I need to pop back to this thread (originally hidden by author, once he had received the help he needed) to warn the community that Christoph Voorn apparently does not pay his bills to fellow artists that he hires to help him. I would like to record here that I was engaged to complete what would turn out to be over 6 hours of work, which was completed on the day he requested it. Although I had never worked with him before he did send a small initial payment of £175 at which point I provided the file.
He then made it clear that he wanted a series of details refined and additional changes made, which I clarified with him over skype would also be chargable at my normal rate and that I work on an hourly basis, to which he agreed.
So once I had completed the additional work I chose to trust him, and gave him the new file, so he could look round it more thoroughly, and issued a new invoice.
At this point he ghosted me, did not pay his final invoice, despite 5 reminders in the following month and has 'done a runner' like a disreputable little thief.
I warn you all - this man is not trustworthy, and has stolen £210 worth of work time from me. Whilst this amount is too small to consider pursuing via legal channels I do feel duty bound to warn you all that working for him comes with a considerable risk of not getting paid, and I advise you to not release ANY files to him until the balance is received in full.
Needless to say, he is on my blacklist now, and I won't be working for or helping him again.
