You don’t walk into a restaurant and demand a free meal because you’ve heard good things about it. Why do some people think it’s ok to treat artists this way? Why do they contact an artist for a free drawing only because they’ve checked out their Instagram account? UK artist jonARTon (Jon Arton) has received so many free drawing requests, he started trolling the ones that have the audacity to make them…
Cool
I would say: “Look, A**hole, I went through art school and it took many, many years of my life. Also,this is my JOB. I can’t WASTE MY TIME drawing free art for A**ES LIKE YOU when I could be getting MONEY to FEED MYSELF. I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME ON YOU!”
Wow, proper cringe for me to read being unable to ask for anything for free.. I guess I was brought up to respect people’s time and skill before my own gain. Clearly my loss.
Just cheesy to ask him to do free drawings.
