Sorry I just got back in town from a small vacation. You must have just got

back from another planet.

Was this in retrospect to the earlier "ISP needs Flash site,-chance for

 exposure" post or just a disquised cop-out, I mean with the "manners" tag

and all?


If it was it sounds more like a "good samaritan" fable than a protection

protest of the artist.

As I stated earlier, Non profit organizations and charities should always be

an exception and considered

when doing pro bono work and can also be a tax wright-off to the

artist/Illustrator.


Comparing Doctors or Lawyers to Artists(ecpecially in income) is like

comparing apples to oranges when it comes to "pro bono" work. Legal defense

and keeping someone alive is a far different need than what some artist can

do for a company's brand. Get real.


"Behind every great professional ,

is a man (or women) who has contributed time ,

without the expectation ,

of reward .


So; Sometimes , take-on cases , even though

the client can't afford you .


You will be blessed by doing so ."


When it comes to the people who need food in their mouth and shoes on their

feet,  this philosophy holds no falsehood, but when it comes to an ISP and

free "cutting" edge I think dont think so.


Can we get back to the "real" world now?
