🎨 Artist won't remove signature from commissioned art, AITA? 🤔
A Reddit user commissioned an artist for a piece of art and was happy with the outcome, except for one thing - the artist left their signature on it. The user asked the artist to remove the signature but was met with resistance and a demand for a large markup price for 'commercial rights.' After trying to compromise by offering to pay $5, the user was refused and ultimately decided to photoshop the signature out themselves. The artist then blacklisted the user from commissioning them again. Was the user in the wrong for removing the artist's signature from a commissioned piece? Read on for reactions and comments from fellow Redditors.
