thanks Stan and Marshall, thanks a lot my online professors. I hope I also become successful, for me success has always been into imprinting my name in most expensive art ever sold, I don't know how I am gonna get to that level but first thing first I need some relief so I am gonna freelance as graphic designer for next 4 months and will try my utmost best to quit part time job, than I will think about something else

thanks to this episode I am gonna quit my part time job in 4 months, that's an estimated guess I just made because I am confident in your podcast. Thanks, in advance.(from future by my overthinking skills).

Appreciated both perspectives! Stan and I had similar trajectories. I started out as a music teacher, switched industries, and now take Proko lessons in my off hours. :) Great episode as always!

The idea of "I charged 50 dollars for a portrait, but I was young and bad." is already wild to me. I've charged fictional currency worth nothing. The most I've ever charged for a piece was 100 dollars. Any trip into an art space with lots of young people and you can see them scrambling to offer the lowest price, in order to get commissions. Now once you grow up a bit and hit a certain level in your artwork, that certainly changes, and prices (comparatively) skyrocket, but usually those artists are still selling themselves short. It's such a saturated market. And it doesn't help that most people with "real jobs" are both underpaid themselves, as well as used to undervaluing art. I'm no economist, but if I wanted to make money on my art, I don't think I could handle the freelance world.
