I see more and more young artists complaining about prices other artists are charging for things. As an older guy now who’s been a professional artists for decades let me just weigh in. First, the market and their audience decides prices, not other artists. When you whine about other artists you sound bitter. Not a good look. Second, if you’re constantly complaining about high art prices you’re essentially a participant in cultivating a culture that monetarily devalues art. Good luck making a living yourself with art in the future in the world you’re creating. Third, watch out for being a crab in the bucket. Always trying to pull down the ones above you trying to move up. If you know people like this in real life you know you hate being around them. Lastly, the internet thrives on negativity not goodness. Try and use it for good.
