It doesn't matter if it's art or not. They commissioned a specific thing, and he did not make that thing. If I commission a painting, and the artist gives me a pencil doodle instead, I can admit the latter is art but still demand a refund.
Additionally, he pocketed the materials they provided for that thing, which were not part of the commission fee. This is straight up theft.

- RoyalHenOil 3y agoI don't know exactly what was specified in the contract, but he himself has admitted that he is in breach of contract. This is not some mystical, mysterious thing that cannot be defined. It's a product. They ordered a product, he delivered the wrong product, and they are well within their rights to pursue legal action against him.
