That's a thinly veiled insult if i've ever seen one. that aside, twenty dollars is just too much for anyone with a currency below the US dollar, and one hundred and fifty dollars is outrageous, i can understand there's time there but pricing them lower easily opens up people buying more than one painting is the point i'm trying to make, you rude ass.

There was no veil or intended insult. It's simply obvious from your sentiments that you're not accustomed to this sort of thing. I was being serious. Sit down and try to create something like this work from scratch and you'll understand rather quickly where it's coming from.

It's a matter of realizing that someone has the right to charge money for work that takes time. Think about it this way: an artist gets the commission, has to come up with an original idea for how to present it, sketch it out multiple times more than likely, then the actual piece is started once he/she has a satisfactory starting point, that then gets reworked and revised depending on the artist's process and what the client wants. (Not to mention that it could all be scrapped and started over again)

How long does all of that take? Being generous, let's say it's done in one session of five hours. Even getting paid just $15/hour, that's already $75 just for an hourly rate not to mention receiving a one of a kind piece of art from an artist whose work you've sought out and want to support. All of this and the time and energy they have put into their craft and getting to the place they are now, where they're comfortable sharing their work with others and putting a price tag on their talents. (Talent that has to be worked toward and achieved)

Only to have someone who doesn't have a clue come in and tell them it's overpriced. You're insensitive and are, in fact, the one who is rude. (Okay, now this last bit was intended as an insult)

Please PM me with any further vitriolic commentary you may have in response to my statement so we're not clogging up this thread with this nonsense any further. Some banjo thing somebody bought for some great re
