Worked all night hand-drawing animations to give a client something unique and the only feedback I got was:
“Copy this Japanese site exactly. Your work sucks.”
This is the part of freelancing we don’t talk about:
clients using bad reviews as leverage, platforms offering zero protection, and creatives feeling forced to shrink themselves just to keep their reputation alive.
But I’m done pretending this is normal.
✨ Our work isn’t cheap — sometimes the market is.
🔥 Respect is a requirement, not an add-on.
🌙 I build original worlds — not pixel-for-pixel replicas.
Your magic doesn’t beg.
It just needs the right audience.
I'm a little sad right now, and tired. I was working on this house that the client hates, because he wanted me to make a clone of another one exactly the same. https://curly-requests-034093.framer.app
