Comment on Dear ppl who asks others to draw for 'exposure': by Qinni

It is kinda funny that we live in a world where many people are indignant over the unlivable incomes of fast food workers at $8-9 an hour, but it's perfectly fine for artists to work for $2-3.  Too many budding artists get sucked into the vortex of believing recognition and exposure are required to make a living.  They do not realize there are probably ten times as many artists in some given genre than the number you actually hear about.  Take pinup art for example, outside of Elvgren, Vargas, and Sobyana (sp?) how many more can you name?

Newer artists should just put their stuff out there, and draw a clear line between "free labor of love" and paid work.  Time and word of mouth will get you recognition eventually.
