I have a dirty secret. I have done my share of free art and design work over the years. I have also at times sold and licensed my artwork for a pittance. Why? Lots of reasons. Maybe it's just cynical middle age creeping up on me, but the more I do this, the less I like it. Maybe I have finally decided that my work, my training, my talent and my time have value and should be treated accordingly
