This was designed as a part of a campaign, begun by lettering artist James Lewis titled, “Our Time Has Value”.  Although I’ve only been lettering for about two years and illustrating for less time, I have been affected by how others undervalue creative work.  In the past, when I’ve gotten an email from someone asking for a logo or illustration work and once being told the price, they run the other way. And what’s most important, I don’t undervalue myself. If someone is not willing to pay you for something that has taken you so many hours of practice, so much dedication, frustration, and erasers, don’t think you’re not good enough. Stick to your views and don’t settle for less. Only those who truly appreciate your work will pay for it and will be happy with what you have to offer. We have the ability to create beautiful things, and if someone can’t see that, then it isn’t worth bringing ourselves down.
