I just thought I'd share one my my few freelance experiences. neutral
Of course, this is paraphrased and was over the course of a week.
Alright, I didn't get to say anything after she told me that she already had someone else. She hung up on me. rolleyes

You drew that? (Usually as you're drawing or turning to a clean page to draw.)
No s**t.
I work in Manhatten and I think my s**t is worth more than gold. I have this party coming up. It's a masquerade and I thought it would be droll to have an artist there to draw my guests. I intend to pay you for your time, but don't expect you to be paid per drawing by my guests. You're a party favor, but you can eat something while you're there.
Um... alright. How long do you want me to draw?
About 2 hours.
How much?
Fifty dollars. At this point you want to pop the b***h right in the mouth for even suggesting that 2 hours of your hard work is worth 50 bucks, seeing as you will be drawing a LOT of people, but you don't say anything because you don't have that much freelance experience and just want to start to get your name out there.
Um, alright. Where and when?
Well, it's next week. I said I work in Manhatten, for no reason, since you're in Jersey and it's a 20 minute bus ride to the city from where you are and maybe some time on the subway or a cheap cab. I actually live in upstate NY. I expect you to drive 2 hours for 50$. You'll only spend that much in gas. It's only a trifle 2.98 9/10ths a gallon. Or you can take the train and my husband will pick you up from the train station. How you get back home is not my concern though. Oh, you can't afford a train ticket?
Look, I've been trying to make arrangements all week. If you really want me to come out there, I'll need someone to pay my way out there.
I'm outraged that you expect me to pay for your travel expenses. I'm already paying you a whole 50 dollars! And I'm giving you the cost of the paper. That's what? A WHOLE 67.38!! How DARE you. My husband already found someone else nearby, which is a complete lie, but I want to feel vindicated that I can't get my way and exploit you because I'm a spoiled urban princess whore. How dare you not help the black community by realizing it's ******** retarded to ask someone to travel 2 hours to work for 2 hours and accept 50$ to do it.
STFU ho.
No s**t.

I love you. biggrin I had a similar experience with how incompetent the general populace can be about art. I love how when we're young we, as artists, are praised. And then when we grow up, society just wants to find ways to exploit and use us for free. As if our inventions were a right to them, free of charge. cool
