    Pay is not everything in life, but it does buy things like paint and canvases.

    And I really have to question a self-proclaimed professional artist saying, again, that artists do not deserve to be paid for their work.

      No, they don’t.

      Work has to have value.

      Some work - some art - has value. Some does not.

      Sometimes you spend money and buy lumber and build a chair and you can sell it because it is worth something to someone. Sometimes it’s shit and goes in the trash.

      Just because you made a chair doesn’t mean you get money.

        This thread is incredibly disconnected to the point where it seems to be invaded by hobby artists that think too highly of themselves.

      “Deserve” - clearly you don’t understand the issue at hand if you’re using definitions like this. There’s no “deserve” in art.
