Can you work for free, on spec? – I mean your an artist, designer, illustrator, right?
”Can you work for free?” one of the most common question artists, illustrators and designers get. Around the world. We can all relate to this. Funny video showing brilliantly how it is. Unfortunately too many designers, illustrators and artists do it, work for nothing. In a way it even starts when you work for a Photographer as an assistant, or some add agencys where your supposed to learn the craft – by serving them coffee and biscuits and running arrends. So that you learn the craft. rigth! – if you were aming for the servant service and barista buissness! Which would still be wrong of course, to ask them to work for free. but then, most people would still adhere to the so called nomrality to that artists, illustrators and artists love their work so much, that they are expected to work for free or silly money. Simply not viewing it as work basically.
