Seems like both the agent and the artist got scrod.

The epic-length post is like those movies that would've been 10 minutes if the people just talked with each other.

In this case, if the artist had just told the agent what they wanted, agent would've gotten to do their job, and artist would've avoided years of turmoil.

I was thinking this throughout a large portion of the article. Imagine how different things would have been if Julian and Carl stopped emailing each other "rapidly" and "frantically" and picked up the phone (or setup a Zoom meeting or whatever).
