Agreed

wtf are you talking about... if they respected his art work... if they did not respect it they would not of got him to do it... just wow go back to hiding under that rock you crawled out of... messaged him months ago? yeah because that's how the world works...

@@firelordOzai3 then your just as dmb as diamondaezzart

She Is a Workaholic. She Respects his work, otherwise she Won't have ask him!

Sometimes an idea occurs in the moment and one takes a risk that all the moving parts will come together.

Really pulled a number on him

That's one way to look at it, but perhaps it leans a bit towards a victim mentality. Another way to look at it is that yes, the demands placed were high, but this provided Jono the opportunity to be tested in his abilities and become sharper because of it. Long term perhaps it wouldn't be healthy. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Regardless of the opportunity this provided him if you were to compare his treatment in this scenario against other professionals of similar skill and expertise he is being taken advantage of. Imagine imposing these terms on a lawyer or a doctor. The fact that people just expect artists to bend over backwards and produce for opportunity or exposure is ridiculous. Maybe your perspective works for an amateur but he might as well be a master.

@@Spynuffin I disagree. There is no necessity to compare him to a doctor or a lawyer. The offer was made, and he knew what he was getting himself into. He could say no if he desired. The moment he took up the challenge, which he knew was going to push his mind and spirit, he took all complaints off the table and used his energy to meet the demands. I didn't hear any complaints from him in the video, mind you. I did hear him say that it was something he knew was not sustainable. Sometimes a man must run a sprint to see what he is capable of.

Also, he is free to put the price tag accordingly. The pressure of a short delivery means a more expensive service. I’m sure he was paid properly, which also makes it worth it.

Absolutely. This was my first thought.

I thought the same as well!

Why all the unnecessary outrage? As an artist he accepted the challenge with no undertaking from her other than an appreciation of his art work and he responded because he felt flattered that a well known singer song writer got in touch with him. He said she acknowledged his work. He isn’t perturbed by it but the internet trolls cannot wait to find something or someone to be outraged about!

@@camnsprencheria3225 I am not sure about these comments ether its not about the challenge he was hired to do a job which he agreed to. if the time line did not work for him then he could of passed on it... you have to understand if it normally takes 2 months... he was more then likely paid for 2 months for 3 days of work... his fee is his fee

​@@camnsprencheria3225It is because the artist accepted due to being told his artwork would be displayed during a live show, he worked so hard and on an absurd time frame because it would give him wide ranging publicity. All he got was a shoutout on a page. Not what was offered.

Yeah well I think whenever a person becomes a celebrity they can just ask and receive with no questions ask. In doing so they probably do not take into consideration of what others have to go through to complete their requests bc they can just throw money around and think it'll just solve the issue. Plus 99.99 percent of artists would not turn a celebrities request die. Like that, and they know it. In turn it gives them this idea that they can just ask ppl on a whim without a care of how the artists feels. All that for a shout out from her page isn't worth it. She should of said, "Can we colla, and I will come on your channel" that way her fans see it's more to it than some artist drew her. He is seen as the artist who did the work and it's better exposure. However she would probably want to get paid to do a collab which brings me to the point, celebs live in their own world, and they have a whole different set of morals they don't view other ppls value only theirs and it's bc they constantly get praised by everyone

@@TommyLee-hu5dy i agree 100%

But she didn't just ask and receive. She shared an idea that she had with him and asked him if he was up for the job. He was under no obligation to take it nor was he omplaining about it. In fact he seems very grateful for the opportunity to showcase his art to a newer group of people and to have challenged his creativity in ways that could have only happened under immense pressure, as he said. These kinds of last minute deals happen all the time when you've made it as an artist. Its a good sign I promise. As an actor, I've taken gigs 1-2 days before it's due to perform. It happens quite a lot especially in NYC. Lord knows they could've asked plenty others but hey, they gave me the opportunity and I'm grateful because it means they thought I could do it. So I've taken it. That also means learning a whole script and choreography in less than a day and performing with a cast of sometimes complete strangers I've never rehearsed with. But the point is, its a job, an opportunity to do what I love and to challenge myself while doing it. Its no different with Jono. The fact that he was able to do it proves the time frame was only a challenge and that he was capable.

My favorit technique skill JONO DRY is the best art

KZfaq recognizes the awesome video about.. not the artist. Think about that for a moment....

I feel your struggle, and can relate! Focusing on one thing at a time is a challenge. Best to ya! 🙏❤️

Thats not true at all doing a drawing isnt nearly as time consuming as recording and editing a song what are you talking about! He agreed to it and his work came out beautiful at the end

Let alone a full album smh!

@@RawazJabbar Except that you're somewhat missing the point... A major high-profile, world-renown client requesting a highly-detailed, photo-realistic, large format commission, all done by hand in days without notice and within minimal concept discussion is not an easy ask - no matter how talented you may be... especially when you know any thing less than perfect would be tossed and could negatively affect your reputation. This wasn't a simple sketch portrait or digital art that someone can run through Lightroom and remove layers, mistakes or use filters. FWIW, many major hits, albums and recordings have been written in minutes, recorded in one-take and had less than a day in a studio with little to no editing so it is very possible to do what I was using as an analogy - the point was to highlight how this wasn't exactly no-pressure commission and could have very easily failed..

@@prsjackal i get it bro its actually common...especially in entertaintment industry most things are on short notice, plus this is not a graphite Drawing its Charcoal and 1 day is alot of time for a charcoal piece if he worked 24 hours non stop thats plety of time because charcoal is a fast medium

I love the phrase "pressure makes diamonds! Isn't that the truth😅

And did he get paid for 2 months of work? Or is "the exposure" the pay 😠

@@sledgehammer-productions I know what you mean. If you get more celebrity work from it, you know that it was worthwhile, but if you don’t get work from it, then it just leaves you feeling used. I have been in this boat and it’s not pretty.

Thanks so much! 🙏😊
