There's not much I can say about the artist, other then yes, he does deserve a beware and seems a lot of people have been having trouble with him.
However, no matter how long he's taking, I don't think it's in your right to pester him to find out why there was a delay. It's more proper for the artist to give you a little idea, but there's no need for them to tell you everything if it's something personal. Can people correct me on this if I'm wrong?
In the future though, if someone offers you a refund, it's a pretty good sign that trouble may come if you don't accept it. There's multiple reasons why someone wouldn't want to work on the picture anymore. Even if they started and liked the idea from the get-go, sometimes things happen. I had to do a pretty cool picture for someone, but it wasn't something I normally do and in the end, we had to discuss either a refund or a new picture because I just couldn't get it right. I know that isn't the case here, but it's an example.
Not condoning what he did at all, and this was mostly neutral what I said, it isn't info just for this situation, but for whenever you come across it again.
