let us zoom out a bit
if you met an electrician at a party, would the first thing out of your mouth be “hey can you fix the wiring in my kitchen for free?”
if you struck up a conversation on the bus with someone who turned out to be an actor, would you immediately ask “oh cool can you come put on a show for me and my friends later”?
what??
you wouldn’t???
that would be incredibly obnoxious, objectifying, disrespectful, greedy, and shallow?????
then why the fuck is there even a convenient short term like “requests” for asking the same fucking thing of artists
yes, there are some artists who actively ask for requests, because they enjoy doing that. plenty of talented people like to give their time and skill freely. hell, everything i do is freely available.
and sure, if you are good friends with an artist and you actually need some small quantity of art for a project or other manner of thing you are actually doing, there are polite ways to ask for your friend’s help.
but what kind of person asks for it just because. not even to accomplish anything; just to have it, to collect it, to put it in a folder on your desktop and forget about it.
hey, it’s my birthday. can you go work a double shift at starbucks today
oh, no reason, just because i’d like to see you do it
what? you won’t?! because that’s ludicrous?!
some friend you are. i’ll go find someone who truly appreciates what i bring to the table.
