Thanks for the feedback everyone. Appreciate it.

Hi all, longtime reader, first time poster. Happy to be actually taking part in the forum! Had a question about appointment protocol. I managed to get on the list of a well known artist who I’ve been dying to get work from for years. I’ve been working with the shop manager (who is wonderful), but for some reason I’m not able to discuss the piece with the artist before paying for and traveling for my first appointment. I made it clear that I didn’t want to guide the process or throw in a laundry list or requests, rather just want to spend a few minutes hearing the artist’s view for the piece. I offered to pay for the time, as well, but no luck. Feels strange to commit to a giant projexr without even a 5 minute conversation. Anyone else ever bump into this?
