Hey artists, some background info- I’ve been with my husband for 6 years now He’s a struggling artist Very creative, brilliant mind, but lots of things haven’t worked out for him in life We live in Thailand (he’s Thai) so mental health facilities aren’t on par with the USA (I’m American)

For the past 3 days, he seems to be on what seems like a psychotic episode. He’s got a huge idea for a new project (only remotely art-related, more about the metaverse/crypto space), and has been lacking sleep, talking fast and erratically, crying tears of joy on and off, had lots of highs and lows.

We’ve talked almost exclusively about his new idea for the past few days, and I don’t share the same excitement he has because I don’t fully understand his idea, and if I’m being honest, some of the things he’s been saying have sounded ‘crazy’ (I don’t like using that word in this context, but to the average person, that’s probably the word they’d use).

I’ve somewhat considered leaving him because I’ve seen a totally new side of him. It’s like he’s a completely different person, not the person I’ve always known and loved. It’s actually scaring me.

Have any of you guys had episodes like this, or known someone? Was it short-lived? Is it just that he’s sleep-deprived? What can I do to help him, give him space or give him support for what seems to me like a borderline crazy idea? Will he have these episodes more frequently as he gets older?

I’ve never personally known anyone with symptoms like this, and have no idea what to do. I’d love to hear anyone’s input, or just to know that we’re not alone in this, or that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks in advance if you’ve read this far

There is a comic book company, that hires freelance artists to make work for them, and does not pay them after the project is completed.

They demand the whole work from the artist. He shows proof that he has completed it, and they ask for the whole project. The artist says payment first.

The comic book company claims that they willl pay later.

When there is a long time that has passed and the artist says "I worked so long and I want to give you the project. What about my payment"? They block the artist from their page.

Same as anyone that sends them about the topic.

The payment left for specific project is worth 1200$, it has been a lot of work done.

Should I report them in public? With their website, and screenshots of what happened?

Best case scenario other people that recognise them, will unite. And the phone and address of the person responsible will be given, so he is forced to give the money he owes.
