For sure, which is why artists should charge much more per hour/time! Fewer commissions at a higher rate is much more sustainable...even after I raised my prices, I had similar rates of business. Also, totally agree which is why I'm grateful I picked medicine as a career and art on the side

Most artists calculate rate based on a 40-hour week. But admin, emails, and procrastination don't pay. If you only have 25 billable hours, your rate needs to nearly double!

I wish! I donated a portrait to my medical school’s ophtho department for a fundraising auction and so this was the cutie I ended up painting for someone!

Which one should I illustrate next? 🎨 This is from my series Kintsugi, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. As a med student, have been exploring what it means to be a healer and do my best for future patients. #sciart #medsky #medicalart
