>owed hundreds if not over a thousand dollars in commissions that have zero prospect of getting done

>see one of those stupid tumblr ~Commission Etiquette~ posts that are stupidly biased towards artists, and downright wrong about their rights, responsibilities and their plight that are so popular to share

I saw one post that even suggested it was okay if an artist takes over a year to get their work finished and it was oppressive to ask for deadlines and checking up on the status of your work.

So many of their arguments are such bullshit. Like when they try to whine they aren't being paid the same hourly rate as an employee in a real business. You know, the employees that can afford to be paid like that because they actually make the business a profit. They are -selling goods- not hours. They can charge what they want, but they have no right to complain when people don't buy their overpriced art.

And that's the other thing, they whine -constantly- about how hard commission work is. As if it's harder work that what the commissioner did to earn that money. Yeah, I'd rather be drawing pictures than scrubbing toilets or serving burgers, what a bunch of entitled fucking babies.
