I recently stumbled upon this on tumblr and it's been circling around all my social networks.  I find it really important to pass this on to all artists AND people who commission artwork. I see this way too often here and at conventions. Artists don't realize that they're affecting the overall view of how art should be priced by selling it for so low, and clients are basically paying these artists less than minimum wage for art that they think they're getting a "deal" on. To all artists and commissioners, think before setting on your prices. Is it really worth the artists time to pay them $20 for 6 hours of work?
