ATTENTION ARTISTS: Need help calculating your commission prices?

A tool that I’ve found is really handy is a called the Cash Clock. It’s a simple program that measures both the time that you’re working on a piece as well as how much money you should be earning. You can adjust the hourly wage to whatever you feel is right. Simply start the clock whenever you begin working on a project right up until you’re finished. It can give you a clear indication of what you should charge for commissions.

No artist should make below minimum wage for their artwork.

The Cash Clock is found as a download here

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THIS INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEANUTS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK

Please, please, please at least make sure you’re making minimum wage.

Please stop lowering the pay floor for independent artists everywhere by thinking $5-10/commission is anywhere close to an acceptable rate for something you spent three hours on.

Wacky Reference Wednesdays, No. 379

VENOM #1 (Variant Cover). 2018. Ink(ed by Joe Rivera) on bristol board with digital color, 11 × 17″.

Venom #1 is out today!!!! Full details here. I’m afraid the original art has already sold (but we’ve still got plenty of other work available). And if you’re worried that this isn’t enough Venom, rest assured that I’ve got another cover to be revealed soon(ish).

Brooklyn!!

The 3D models are from Anatomy 360, and the architecture is from Google Street View (which just happens to be near my old neighborhood in Brooklyn).

It’s been a long time since I was as invested in any movie as I was in Infinity War
