Comic Strips

$500 isn't exactly much, given how long art takes to produce, how relatively infrequently that art will be bought, and how many extra expenses a "self-employed" artist has. I expect that most people selling art for $500 are hobbyists with some other means of financial support, because they're not going to earn enough to live on by selling art. Portraying them as corporate sellouts is just silly.

(The exception might be some digital artists working on commission. But they're probably drawing furry porn rather than something you might see in a gallery.)

500 per piece of art is barely out of the struggling to eat level of artist. Be mad that the ones making 50000 each.

A large blank canvas alone is like a 100 bucks. If they are charging minimum wage for their time (they shouldn't) and spend no money on brushes or paints that gives them 25hours per piece, which isn't really that much time to be honest. Then hopefully you make enough in prints to pay the exhibitions cut and for time and money you spent marketing, networking, negotiating etc

Obviously there's all kinds of art which different time and material commitments but 500 bucks really isn't all that unreasonable.

should have been a furry porn artist.

Love seeing original content here! :D

Needs a third panel where the person is home on their computer using some bullshit AI to generate garbage facsimiles of art stolen from all artists within the range of both the other panels.

Oh wow, thanks for sharing the link! Lots of good stuff there. :D
