Why would a "professional artist" use free software? The amateur was not getting paid - the professional was. Therefore, I personally see absolutely no form of discrimination between the two states of being an artist. All "professional artists" are basically one decision away from being an amateur artist again. All "amateur artists" are one "how much would that cost" away from being a professional. The "amateur artist" is one who is not currently trying to sell his artwork. I am defining the "professional artist" as the artist who is trying to satisfy his economics with the creation of his artwork.Įven the "starving artist" is selling his artwork to be able to buy more paint to sell more artwork to buy more paint.
I use the masculine pronouns because, well, I'm masculine. I would like to use this thread to present and discuss the concept of the "professional artist" and why, I think, some of us use "free" software.
