People make this mistake a lot, and it bugs me:Exposure of your work is not payment.
It's not unselfish to offer to show someone's work to a million billion people unless you pay them unselfishly.
There's nothing wrong with what you want to do, you're here to ask first and that's cool, but you are just looking to use someone else's work for free, be grateful that anyone might be willing to volunteer, but do not,
BUT DO NOT
pretend do be doing the artists a favour, be grateful instead, it's more appropriate.
We (by 'we' I mean artists, not only b3tards) weren't just born shitting this stuff out, 'talent' means hard work, life long hard work, it's not a 'gift'.
Ah, and I know I just got all heavy over use of some silliness the creator probably couldn't copyright anyway, and you're hella nice to ask (seriously, gaz the ones you want if you want to walk the walk), but these particular two cents have been burning holes in my pockets for years.
Pet peeve and all.
Thanks for your time, carry on as you were.
