Was just sent this in a note on DA.  Here’s a bit of life advice- don’t treat art like it isn’t worth paying for.  It’s one thing to ask someone for a favor, understanding that you’re putting them out and that they’re giving you something, but it’s another thing to act as if the privilege of making art for your wedding is payment in and of itself.

As has been said by wiser artists than I, people die of exposure.

I cannot even fathom how anyone would go ‘yes, this sounds like a good deal!’. I just can’t get over the audacity of going ‘well you know what? I’m having a custom cake, a wedding in disney land, a reception in France, two (not one but two) wedding dresses, a tiara, two more dresses …..but I can’t be bothered to pay for invitations. That would just be frivolous!
