Beware of collaborations. You shall experience conflict over artistic control, opinions about the final product and the end of a friendship. Don't do it. Bow out of this. You shall be hurt and lose a friend in the process. Your local status as an artist will also suffer demeaning stature. I anticipate you will ignore these comments and proceed with this endeavor while completely forgetting you have been warned. You shall mentally justify proceeding with this endeavor because you will not let anyone tell you how to do anything just as you have ignored comments about how you should fix your paintings. I am using ultra harsh words to get your attention. Ask and actually listen, instead of waiting for your turn to talk, to any of your close friends and family about the pros and cons of this decision. I don't really expect a thought out response at this time, but check with a few others you trust before you proceed.
