It’s a long story, in my case.
There’s a very good reason for me to be asking for gratis work. I regularly do tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of work for free.
- imtringued 1y agoThat only works if you form a team with the artist. It doesn't work when the person you're commissioning free stuff from is an external artist who is getting flooded by both paid and unpaid requests. Even a token amount will let them know to prioritize you over the freeloaders.
- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoThis is true. I have paid friends free market rates for work; even though they would have done it for free. It’s a matter of Respect. It’s really amazing, how treating folks with simple Respect can change everything. I like working in teams, but I also participate in an organization, where we’re all expected to roll up our sleeves, and pitch in; often in an ad hoc fashion.
