Re: [BKARTS] Book Artists Unite?

[Frank Lehmann <lehmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Michael Andrews, et. al. -

To me it seems a bit strange that you don't value your artistic skills  
above that of the cost of materials.  Does this mean that your  
artistry actually diminishes the value of the materials used?

I would think an artist, if anyone, would value their own work.  If  
they don't , then why would they expect anyone else to?  Since you  
don't need to make a profit from them, or even break even on materials  
costs, why not keep them for yourself?

I am a craftsman and very proud of the fact.  And, no, I'm not in  
favor of a union; I don't think it would work; I do think it is  
somewhat of a silly idea.

Sincerely,
Frank Lehmann
