RE: Four Unpleasant Situations I Encountered As A Portrait Artist
That is so rude of him. A lot of people thinks art has no value and creating art is not a real job. They thought we just dabbled. Like this is just a hobby. While this is true for many people but we need $ to live. Our art is a way for us to feed our family, pay bills.
