Re: the Jim Lee thing. My opinion is that creatives can charge whatever they goddamn want for a commission or autograph or a sketch. That is 100% their prerogative. Just as it’s 100% your prerogative not to buy it. That’s basically it.

I’ve also seen what Adam Hughes is charging for commissions and while I’ll never have that kind of money to drop on a single piece of art, I also think “if someone is willing to pay that amount, good for the artist”. Certainly cuts down on flippers.

I 100% agree. I can understand being disappointed you can't afford a specific artist, but that's about it. You don't get to determine what their price is. And honestly, I wish more artists could make this sort of money. All artists would if the world was set up better. 😃

All these people complaining about Jim Lee's expensive commissions... have they tried cutting down on expensive coffee drinks and avocado toast?

This also shows the divide that even if your Jim Lee - people don’t view what you do as fine art and therefore worthy of those prices Kind of upsetting when you think of how it reflects on comic art as a whole

The fact that an artists work is not in my personal budget is in no way their problem to solve. No one complains about the price point of luxury items or couture fashion or Michelin star restaurants, seems like it's only when artists charge higher prices for skills honed over years, decades even

I mean he’s JIM LEE. I work in fine art so these numbers don’t surprise me at all

Yup. Good for folks charging what they can in a world that wants to devalue art.
