I am disappointed in the artists that accepted that. The companies like Gucci who gave it away for free already "purchased" it from the artists they hired to make it, so that was paid for.

Why would anyone pay you for it in the same way you would pay a plumber to unclog your toilet. Now that's work!<br /><br />Hate to sound like the crotchity old man, but a lot of this mindset is driven by the current generation making their way in the business world. Art, music... it's all yours at the click of a button.<br /><br />It's bad and getting worse.Daryll Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724129756643386846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734322865929987142.post-29840731313458869592009-06-15T13:57:22.308-04:002009-06-15T13:57:22.308-04:00It is a depressing article.

That a company as large and profitable as Google would have the audacity to request artwork in exchange for publicity alone is reprehensible, but not terribly surprising.
