Being an artist
If there is one thing that pisses me off so fucking much is when people worry about making money and they’re all “set for life”. Stupid, grow up. YAH OK, artists make money but do you know how long it takes an artists to become dirty rich? Yah okay, we live comfortably but compared to all those shits who take up business and all that crap? Goddamnit. Yah, it takes a person 8-11 years to become a lawyer but fuck, how much do they earn on their first year? How about people that work in banks and shit? I’m talking about the kids that graduate from prestigious colleges okay? I have a bunch of friends who complain how they have no money and stuff but they fucking work in J.P and Morgan or Maybank or Duetsche or some really prestigious work place and DUH i know their positions. They fucking graduated from Ateneo or La salle or bleeeeeh and it’s like.. What the fuck are you talking about? You have decent salaries but not only that you have fucking FIXED SALARIES PLUS BONUSES AND SHIT… I talk to my artists friends… errr… 10-15k per month. Your lucky if you get anything higher than 15k. Okay how about the freelancers? Yah… sure… because it’s soooo easy to tell people a layout of a website or poster is 10k?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH LABOR, THINKING, AND TIME US ARTISTS DEDICATE TO MAKE YOUR SHIT AND YOU TELL US 5K IS EXPENSIVE? FUCK YOU. NO REALLY FUCK YOUUUU. You stupid freaks who think paying us 2-5k is already expensive. Do you know how STRICT the public is when it comes to plagiarism, originality, and authenticity?!???!?!!? Every single thing we use in making your damn marketing materials or whatever you wanna call is original. It takes so much time coming up with an original concept. THEN YOU TELL US IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE. OH. MY. GODDDDDDD. It’s so fuckin frustrating.
We don’t earn like most of you ok?
