That POST.
I cannot even. Wow.
It just blows my mind.
I've hired indie artists for book-related work a couple times now, and each artist has been exceedingly polite about my insistence that I pay them half up-front because WHAT IF I GET HIT BY A BUS, NO, REALLY. (Husband is usually up on what I'm commissioning at any given time, but that would be overwhelming to manage in any event.)
I just assumed that was me being Professional. Apparently, I'm very UN-professional by expecting to pay my artists.
