How do you justify getting paid for what you do?
(more questions)

I love what I do and if people want to give me money to use my work, then that's awesome. Regardless, I'll still be drawing and painting. I think that gaining clients and producing strong commercial work is the outcome from years of practicing my craft. The bottom line is that none of us would be doing this if it wasn't what we loved... we'd be working for insurance agencies or something. There's much quicker and easier ways to make a buck.
