Would you ever do anything professionally for $5?

A designer friend of mine recommended this site to me last week when I needed a professional illustrator for a project. Quite frankly I couldn’t believe that some so called “professionals” were willing to sell their services for $5 ($4 net after paying the website).

Is this what our industry has come to?

When we look at sites like this, it can be disheartening - but only if we
see their market as our own. We want clients with bigger budgets - who are
deserving of our best work.

We are big game hunters - not grubbers!
