Had someone comment that $30 headshot was too much, so once again I post this.

Creators! See something I've missed/forgotten/didnt have space for? Comment here. I'd love for folks to fill the list out for those curious about how crazy solo business running is. I'll start! Post box Storage space Sometimes renting work space

Some from the comments on twitter: Taxes Software costs More from me: Convention travel costs Table and registration costs Resources/memberships for business stuff. (Services and such)

And don't get me wrong, I fully understand financial hardships. I know that $30 can be the difference between eating and not. If someone's art is out of your range, you may consider: 1) save for it if you can 2) follow for future opportunities within budget 3) find another artist

4) tons of free opportunities, giveaways, etc., out there. Etc. But no one should be expected to make less because you can't afford it. I know what it's like to have little, to not be able to save, and even when shitty currency conversions make things out of budget. :/

People tend to forget that despite the large availability of nowadays, art is still a luxury item, not a necessary need, and therefore accordingly priced as such. (On top of, of course, often being the main source of income for artists and the prices being so because they cover cost of life)
