TO ALL ARTISTS ON MY WATCH LIST;

I understand that art is your livelihood and for some of you it is your only source of income. Trust me I do. And I can understand the fear when you start to lose money either through competition or because someone doesn't pay for their commissions.

A week or two ago, an artist I watch both here and on ink-bunny decided they weren't making enough off of their commissions. Now, not that their prices are up there, like in the 75-80 dollars per pic range. But if your turning a dime at that price so be it. But this artist chose to start charging for the art they are producing. Another-words, someone would commission a piece, pay for it, then be told they cant post it anywhere due to copyrights. The artist then posts a small preview and charges everyone to view the picture [again, 70-80 dollars.] Now, the artist did that, and while I don't agree with it, I really cant argue. Its their choice.

Well, I left the artist watched and today I received a message from them bitching at me how I never buy art from them, and how I am a poor excuse to the community. Seriously? Because I deem my life more important than to pay your bills that makes me the bad guy? I mean dont get me wrong, if I HAD commissioned this artist and then just screwed them over I would understand, but I didn't even commission them! They are pissed with me for not paying to view their stuff! WTF!!!

So I removed them from my watch lists on both sites and will do so for ANYONE who starts to charge people to view their art on top of the original commission costs. If anyone here chooses to harass me for not buying their shit, they will be removed as well. If you feel you shouldn't be watched by me because of this, feel free to leave a comment below and Ill remove you from my watch list as soon as possible.
