Anyone Seen Machinegunkelly?
I just wanted to post this in it's own thread, so that any of you that read the other thread know what's up...
Look guys.... This is the situation. Michael is someone I consider a friend for the last 10 years... and I have a nice debt to him right now, that unfortunately I can't afford to pay back at this time... michael has been getting pretty much free work out of me since I borrowed this money, and sometimes I'm slow to answer him because I have other clients , 3 kids and all sorts of shit going on lately that has totally fucked up my time schedule. when I don't answer him fast enough, he likes to make these threads, I guess he thinks they're funny ... even though I think more of you see the damage they cause more than he does. This design stuff isn't making me the money it used to, and the adjustment as been very hard on me... My wife is working full time now for a few months, for the first time in 11 years we've been together, and I'm doing the "Mr Mom" stuff all day with my 3 kids... While all this seemed like it'd work out at the beginning of the summer, it's obvious now that I can't manage to do both design - and be a stay at home father - both are getting done half assed. Many of you have used me over the years, and know that I generally like to go over the top to please my clients. do extra work and all sorts of stuff when I'm late ( for example , LACE, I did your blog free of charge, and integrated your whole design free of charge because I was a little late in an attempt to make you happy, which didn't seem to work as one part I couldn't make work properly didn't get done... ) I've always given more than I charge for, most clients will tell you I'm great to work with... Unfortunately lately I have been unable to maintain this standard and it's got me as upset as all of you. I've been through more financial bullshit in the last 2 years than ever, my boys are growing and it takes 5x the money to survive, but I can't seem to charge 1x the price of what a designs worth lately... instead of coming on here whoring for work, I've sat back, like a fool and figuired everything would work itself out.. Anyway, I have a tendancy to ramble.. so I'll cut this short, I'm no scammer, I'm not purposely flakey.. I'm a good designer, who's struggling by the skin of his teeth to not let his baby fail, and you know.. maybe I should've walked away from design once the money started dropping, but this is my BABY, this design thing... it's my passion, it's what I love to do, so I've hung on as long as I can and probably more. On that note, I'm going to end this thread hopefully.. if anyone has had any issues with me this summer, please shoot me an email and I will try to make it right, I will be slow until school starts and I get my kids out of my hair though, so please no rush orders. On a side note, if anyone that knows me and trusts me wants to pre-order $1k worth of design ( 2 tubes integrated ? ) and isn't in an enormous rush, and would like to pay the money directly to Michael in order to pay this debt so I can get myself out from under his thumb, I'd appreciate it and make sure you leave satisfied ( non time sensitive order only with conditions to be agreed to by both if us before order ) As always, do not ICQ me... I won't answer it and likely won't get it. email me.

its tough all around right now man, designers are struggling as much as anyone to keep work flowing in, people want to pay bottom dollar for everything, and the impatience of people is at all time high... recipe for disaster, but we keep pushing on. youll pull through, your talent keeps your name out there.

I just want to take the time to step in here and say I haven't had a lot of experience with machinegunkelly, but the work he did do for me was pretty damned good and he went over and above to change all the little things I kept asking for.
I still count you among the best designers in adult Kelly and wish you good luck going forward with the family and work.

Long, long story.
Basically ends with me no longer trusting anyone to deliver any promise ever when it comes to employment, and never again will I move my family across the province/country/ street for anyone ever again.

If you think dealing with her on GFY was tough, try living with her LMAO.. you have no idea. I never " played " her ...she was legitimately herself trust me LOL.. the only person I ever played was " twinkinghard" and I still think that was hilarious and still try to get eric to unban that account from time to time with no success ![]()

Perhaps you and Michael could create a payment plan so that he gets his money back in regular intervals and you can focus on bringing the money in. Based on your earlier post I am guessing that you owe him $1000? So a plan like $275 a month for the next four months, that would include an extra $100 to him for "interest" and would create some breathing room for you. As you said, once the kids go back to school you will have more time to focus and work.

MGK Hit me up when you have time. I hate to hear of someone having troubles with a family to take care of and would love to throw some work at you. I have my parents in town for the next 8 days, but would love to chat with you. Your work is top notch and I have always respected you as one of the best designers in this business.

Yes you are one of the best.. and designers can also have problems, can be sick etc like everyone else. You'd need some rest now, a little money which covers the debt and whatnot.. then you'd be back to work. I wish you all the best, man, you are strong and will win this battle.

If income from your design work is dropping, why the hell would you keep focusing on adult? It's not going to get better, it's only going to get worse.
Why not switch to mainstream? Gain a good understanding of WP and Drupal or EZPublish, make one *great* multi-functional theme, give away a basic (but good) version of it, and sell both the standard theme and niche-specific offshoots of it. Once your name's out there, requests for custom work will start coming in. And the upside of mainstream: unlike in adult, there's no real cap to the prices you can charge for good designs once you have a solid reputation. Get a few NGOs on your client list, and law firms and such will happily pay 10 times as much for design work as clients in adult do.

I feel you Kelly, I'm somewhat going through the same thing you are right now.
Couple years ago we did business together and I have nothing but praise for what you did for me. Good luck and keep your head high.

Kel, you would have been paid to do it, that would have been fine. That was not the problem. The problem was when I last emailed you, I never got a response. I eventually had someone else do it after waiting and waiting. And yes, your prices were very competitive and reasonable, I'll agree with that.
As I've said, you do some great work, was just a little upset about things not being completed. Sorry if that came out wrong before. I totally understand your position and wish you the best of luck with things.
