A Walk Thats OfFbEaT: 2011

"If you ask yourself why ARTISTS (Photographers, Designers, Singers, Dancers, Musicians, Tattooists, Painters, Makeup artists, or anyone who falls under the artist category) charge "so much" for services... We don't get paid vacation, we don't get paid sick days, we don't get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. We don't have insurance plans. We sacrifice our family on special days so that we can bring fond memories and happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad performance. Next time you ask, remember that ARTISTS are ARTISTS because of the love of their craft, but that love doesn't pay debts. Happy Artists Day!! Re-post if you're an ARTIST."
