Your Pen-Name Matters

I'm a little pissed off right now.

I finally got my hands on some comic books I did coloring work on, and the flippant idiots behind said books screwed me over (again) by NOT using my preferred pen-name of Raf Enshohma, despite repeatedly requesting / demanding them to do so, countless times before the books were finalized and published.

I don't care what anyone in Los Angeles says - My actual name of Rafael C. Gonzalez is ridiculously common within the United States. And has kept me from earning proper exposure and further artist jobs in doing so. And there is already a well-known teacher of graphic art design who shares my exact same name, adding to the confusion.

Anyone who bypasses your requested pen-name, and credits you otherwise, isn't that innocent or that stupid in their mistake making. They did so because they want to keep you from having future opportunities, AND because they deliberately don't respect you, as both an employee AND as an individual human being.
And might even have a tinge of casually bigotry, just because my name seems unique to them, because it's Hispanic. It is not at all unique. Why else would I use a pen-name in my artistic works.

MY NAME IN RAF ENSHOHMA!
