the #my200vsbutch200 is a very funny tag... until you see a bunch of great artists horrendously undercharging their beautiful artwork.

I myself don’t commission my art, but I have friends who do. If you undercharge your art you are harming:
1) your own finances
2) the finances of other artists
3) the expectations of what something should cost vs the work put into it.
You are worth it! Raise your prices!

I tutor math and a similar concept applies. A lot of improvement happened when the tutors got together to agree that we all deserved better rates instead of trying to go to war with outbidding each other.

Don& #39;t fight your fellow tradesmen! Unite and demand adequate pay!
