Gary Taxali, the famous illustrator and guy who has no problem speaking his mind recently opened a can of whoop ass via an open letter on his blog to all of the big time corporate clients that offer him work with insulting rates and rights grab demands.
Its always refreshing to see an artist who has enough to tell the powers that be where they can go and not have it hurt their careers.
Google calls me and wants my work for their new search engine all over the web, the fee? Nothing. Editorial clients are slashing 1999's fees almost in half and citing the bad economy as an excuse. You know what? My excuse is that the economy is bad so you have to pay me MORE for an illustration. How's that for an economic stimulus package?
