Bug Eaters

I don't anticipate any comments. Not any love and likes, etc., if you see this fellow creative, I ask that you dig deep and resist the urge to give your talents and skills away for "free" or for some unreasonable "micro-fee." Albeit employed, freelance, new to the business, confident, great, uber-talented or NOT? We have influence when we are united and come together as one tribe. Don't give your talents away. Creative crowdsourcing exploits "you" and does more harm than any amount of good. When you walk away from an inequitable deal —it's really an investment in you, your practice and your worth. When you do accept a "micro-fee" or offer your talents up as "free," you hurt those you admire, your trade, your future, and ultimately, your self. We are not a commodity, nor are we bug-eating opportunists.
