I sent u a pose idea. And your art is nice, though i would prefer ink.

and the people of Western government profit from it by getting products cheap which are sold to western consumers who buy it in bulk. I am justifying it because Americans spend money on cheap goods from China regardless of how the people suffer, or support companies that pay below the minimum wage. You are expecting me to pay an artist a price I can't afford because u think artists deserve a living wage, meanwhile most western consumers are buying cheap knockoffs from China while the people suffer, paying Mexicans below the minimum wage and spending billions to support Israel that steals lands and supports segregation.  Sorry, it has nothing to with me supporting communism or anything, but just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of most westerners. I don't own a company or am getting tax deductions for hiring foreigners, I just asked if anyone would draw art for me at this price. If you have problem with underpaid artists, take it up with their union or whatever. I really do not appreciate being lectured too because u think I am doing something wrong in your capitalist government.

Alright, but many artists have side jobs or better paying jobs. I know. It is not my intention to be a boss that gives a minimum wage. wasting my money on art won't help me live either, and this is the best I can afford.

First off, I told you, I got these points in a contest so I haven't given my own money. And I will save my money for a Phone or some other useful item. I have some points, and am offering it for an artwork. That's it.

Sure, like underpaid waiters, factory workers, writers, secretaries etc, but there is still debate on the minimum wage.  I get u are fighting for artists. Kudos for u. But please, go after people who actually can afford to pay for art. Thanks for the calculator but I am not in the habit of paying for artwork.
