What? Rude!
Why do so many people think it is completely okay to ask an artist for their art? Hey I like that painting you should give it to me...I consider that so rude, why doesn't the rest of our greater society? There is no comprehension of how much is put into an artist's work...Our time, our money, and our creative spirit. I just don't believe non-art people understand what they are so casually asking. They want what we have created, but they don't realize what they are asking. I wouldn't dare ask them to hand me 40 hours of their wages, what gives them the right to ask for my livelihood?

Whoa! I love this: "I wouldn't dare ask them to hand me 40 hours of their wages"
I guess I never have thought of my art as actual product, but you're so right!
I know right! I have decided that sistuations like this require 1 of 2 corses of action. 1: If the person is an artist themself than a trade is nessasary. 2: A swift kick to the gallegaskins and a look of disgust.
