Usually this isnt my style to air people out online but I've just gotta let folks know, I've been waiting to get my graphic design work back for my upcoming album for over 3 and a half months now. Essqubed Media was supposed to be handling the job and dude was paid $400 back in July and here it is mid October and I still have yet to see even a rough draft yet and all I get is excuses as to why that is, so I've said fuck it and have moved on to a new designer and am chocking it up as a loss and a lesson learned. Dude does great work and I'm sorry it's come to this but just thought I'd warn other folks who have thought about working with them. Bad Business all around and now I'm out $400 and need to pay a new designer and more than likely push my album release date back, fucking gay... :dead:
Bad Business...Bullshit actually!
- Thread starter Night Shield
- Start date
im sorry to hear that... i personally wouldnt ever do business over the internet for this exact reason... i believe d-sane had a similar problem regarding a website set up... not sure if it was essquebed... next time i suggest you use someone from your own city... or i'd go with billy the fridge... dude is an honest hardworker and does GOOD work... sorry to hear about your loss... stay up

Shits been on some other...I'm not going to explain my personal business but you aren't the only one affected. I've contacted my other customers as well that have suffered from my personal setbacks just like I did you. I've worked hard on your shit just like any other project. I've responded to your emails when I've had internet access so this thread is what is gay. If I've ever wronged anyone I've tried my best to compensate...Feel free to continue this discussion via email [email protected] or phone 831-794-2982. Thanks.

Thanks for responding everyone, I appreciate the feedback. Like I said in my previous post, this is totally not my style to put folks on blast online but this has been taking forever and really pissing me off. Essqubed did a project for me earlier in the year and that came out great which is why I decided to go with him again for this album but it's been 3 and a half months and I havent even SEEN a single thing, just emails staying I'll have it by the end of the week or it'll meet my deadline but after 5 or 6 of those you have to call bullshit. It would be one thing if I saw the rough drafts and saw what was being worked on but nope, nothing. I was planning to release the album in December and I have yet to be able to get anything accomplished (Flyers, Website Promo's, Posters, blah blah) because I needed to get the album cover done and now that time is quickly approaching and it looks as though I'm gonna have to push the album back to like March or something....
correct statement.
Yeah Esqoboogie Entertainment is cool, but they're not fuckin' with Thomas. bottom line. I ain't even gotta co-sign (but I still am lol).. I'll let his work speak for itself. Not only that.. but dude is reliable. I've never seen Thomas be late on his work..
as far as waiting on them.. that may be bad business on their part, but it's dumb on yours. If you go about your business and wait on muhfuckas to get shit accomplished.. you're prolonging your label as far as pushing a product.. I'm guessing the project is complete, but if you paid dude in July and it's been a good amount of months and haven't heard anything, you just got got. Shit doesn't get done when u gotta wait on the next man. You shoulda got the money back and went looking for different designers in August. My dude Thomas does album artwork in waaay less than a month. From what I seen, Night Shield is pretty consistent with shows and albums, so I suggest open ya third eye and fuck with 3rd Eye.

That's unfortunate you fee like that Nightshield, I know you're one stand up dood so anything coming from your mouth in my mind is the realness of the situation... shit happens, people go through it and obligations sometimes can't be met. If Maja recognizes this, shouldn't a refund be in order? Personally, I can't really speak on your experience only you can... but I can say he worked his ass off on my first project and I'll always appreciate the magic he worked with the little fragments of reality I gave him...
