Low Compensation Leading to Unsustainable Practices

Summary

Many artists face the harsh reality of low compensation for their work, often earning less than minimum wage for hours of effort. This financial strain leads to unsustainable business practices, forcing artists to take on more commissions than they can handle or to compromise on the quality of their work. The pressure to meet client expectations while struggling to make a living creates a cycle of burnout and frustration, highlighting the urgent need for better compensation structures in the art industry.
