There’s been a bit of noise recently over Google asking for illustrators & artists to provide work sans pay.  I mostly talk about photography here, so obviously there’s a bit of a bias leaning towards the “no pay doesn’t put food on the table” slant.  However, I’m also a complete unknown – so exposure might be worth it for someone in my case.

Reading over other blogs, the response is pretty virulently anti-Google.  Many thanks to A Photo Editor for his post yesterday, then. Seriously, read it.  Then read the comments below it.  This is possibly the most constructive and objective set of views I’ve seen on the subject.

Sanity on the internet.  Surely one of the four horsemen.
