I am not here to help people find their way. If they are making their livelyhood as a comissioned atrist, fine. I keep seeing a disconect between "patroship" and "business." [Also, I work in sales, so sell me.]
I buy finished products. I dont buy half a song. I dont buy unfinished meals. I dont buy unfinished books. I wouldnt "buy" (stand for) an unfinished commision. Commissions have deadlines and expectaitions and professionalism.
These are hobbyists. great for them and us. I am not paying for a person's hobby until it bears real fruit. now were back to the old model, again.
