meaner that would be great!

Well, since recovering from my mid life crisis my earlobes healed 
shut. But I fell the other day and hit my chin, looks like there'll be 
a lovely angsty scar with a hint of danger to it.
I think I can raise my prices soon.

This is a true story isn't it? This kind of thing reaaly P.O.s me, a 
gallery here in Seattle sold work for a lot of photographers then went 
out of business without paying them. The photographers created the 
work, went through everything they had to to get represented there, 
supplied the gallery with inventory for nothing, lost their work and 
got nothing.
Isn't there any recourse for you with the Cuyanga guy?

I think threats are the best thing.

Yes, True, There are worse stories!

Hey...I was one of those guys!  :- (  I even went so far as to track the owner down at a Kinkos, where he
ended up working...all to no avail.

At least I got the rest of my work back.

I have found that very late night phone calls (to the *home* phone) can be very effective (seriously...Hey,
I'm from NY ;- ) ).  And when they tell you that by harassing them, they will never handle your work again,
remind them that you can't afford to have them represent you, since they give your work away without paying
you for it.  :- )
