okay so
my aunt
theres this painter she really really likes and she wants one of his paintings
but she’s not willing to pay for one of his paintings and want me to copy it but change it and use different colours?
this pisses me of for several reasons
1. I’m not a painter, Im an illustrator. Everyone in my family assumes, just because Im an artist I must be painter. because artist = painter right??
2. Im not copying some other dudes work and changing it. PRETTY sure that’s art theft
3. She’s under the impression that if I’d do it, I’d do it for free because she’s family. eh no.
4. if you like an artists work?? purchase it?? support the artist???
Agree to do it, but tell her that it’ll cost her like 20% more than the original art
