I've seen it all to often. I've been active in art and cosplay. both are notorious for thieving activities. People claiming to be the original artists, copying off the original artist's work and saying the made it all themselves, stealing character designs, etc...
and in cosplay, you get people who buy commissioned costumes(or even costumes through ebay) and say they made it all themselves. Even entering them in competitions and taking the prizes for themselves. Many never receive consent to do so.
You as the artist, have the right to be able to sign your own work. He supposedly trusts you but won't let you sign your own work and he's being a douche to boot? He sounds like the worst kind of client you can get. Doesn't sound to me like he can be trusted. You better make sure the bastard pays up full in front(preferably with signed paperwork saying he will pay you 600 dollars to do the painting), because he sounds like the type who will back out of paying you. If he backs out, and you try to go after him, it'll be all the harder to get your payment without having the work signed by you, or the paperwork showing he promised to pay you.
Get him to sign a contract, protect yourself. Because busting your ass to paint a big ass wall and not get your just due is a bunch of bullshit.
