How do I kindly tell this client that to stop bringing me art. It doesn't fit with my artwork. Plus, he lingers in my
office for hours. Today he rearranged my art and brought a piece of art that doesn't fit my stuff. I have 2 artist that I have in my office. I appreciate the kind thought but I'm one art piece away from going from classy to trashy! Help me, tell this guy I'm not interested.

tell him you love it so much that you are taking it home. then donate it to
a church rummage sale or whatever charity.
but seriously i'm more worried that you allow him to linger about unwanted
for hours. he senses you can't put your foot down and those situations can
get dangerous. please be careful.Like (2)

It's not about the art! He is using that as a guise to get closer to you. If you want it to stop, just set up a scenerio where you have a boyfriend with you next time he comes in and have the boyfriend hang all over you. He'll get the message. The guy doesn't have to be your real boyfriend, just have a friend act it out.

No! Trust me, it's about his wanting a relationship. If the opportunity opens up tell him you consider him only a friend. That is if you can communicate with him.

He likes you and is desperately trying to connect with you over a shared interest. Nothing wrong with that except he is maybe trying too hard. Go with how you feel about him and leave the art aside. Maybe his artwork is not your style, but do you think he might be a worth dating anyway? If yes, then try. If not, then tell him you're not interested and too busy to have him hanging around your office and hopefully he will get the message without you having to be rude.

looks to kill work for me. ;-) 3 in an office and your desk is the fattest? i don't understand. reverse psychology mixed with a manipulative concept and a assertive attitude is art isn't it? ok kind of like bull **** art but it's art.... if it gets out of hand then tell him "**** off and take that **** down." hey this is cowboy and indian country. ;-)

I would tell him that your museum has to much art; and not enough room, for anymore art pieces in the back for storage. As a result, I am going to have to decline. If I were you, I would suggest a different musuem for him to go sell his art to.

I think native american art is great. But, sometimes native american art can be too dramatic. I think your making this situation worse than what it seems. So what, he will get his feelings hurt. But, he will get over it. And of the past art he has given to you. You can either give it back. Or, you can sell on ebay, for money to go Christmas shopping with.

Thanks for your gestures, but I'd prefer to chose my own art
