Dont ask artists for free art you scrubs

How to waste your talent while losing your friends all at once because all you care about is money: A tumblr guide on how to be a cunt to those who admire you.

Imagine if the Mona Lisa was a commission and s/he had no money.

the mona lisa was a commission you shitshill, that’s how artists make a fucking living. it’s how we get the money to pay for things we need, because we don’t want to spend all our time working in a shitty job instead of doing things that are important to us, like working on personal projects or spending time with people we like. by thinking that you deserve free art is basically telling them “your time and skill isn’t worth anything but my personal enjoyment!” and if someone only wanted to be friends with me for free art, i don’t want that friendship because that sounds like an awful friend. artists are people with lives and often art is our only source of income and if you really admired us you would understand and support that.

jesus fucking christ “imagine if the mona lisa was a commission” rolls head back and laughs

“imagine if the mona lisa was a commission” AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

IMAGINE IF THE MONA LISA WAS A COMMISSION HOLY SHIT

“I’m your friend… now where’s my free art?”
If you think that’s ok, then you fucking disgust me

Luckily about 100% of my friends do not care about me for my art, they care about me as a person, so they don’t care if I draw them something or not.

Also ‘waste your talent’ - don’t ever demean an artist skill as something they’re born with like it doesn’t take time an effort for the artist.  Artists don’t care about money, but the world wont feed or clothe us without it.

“Hey you’re a pharmacist/doctor for a living? That means you have to give me free medical treatment and pills or you’re a cunt who only lives for money”
