I've worked in animation for Disney, Warner Bros. Universal, Turner, and etc. for about 25 years and I've worked with hundreds of artists on many productions with hard deadlines. In all that time, all those artists were the best, most friendly, hardworking people to work with, and the most giving and helpful. Only a few artists in all those hundreds could be considered a$$holes. Executives, management, mid-management, studio heads, etc. were filled with A$$holes. So, to characterize artists as a$$holes based on a small few loud mouth a$$hole artists who got a lot of attention because they were a$$holes is totally unfair to so many artists that already have put up with so much negativity in their lives. It's hard enough making a living doing art.

There have been a few auctions and moneymaking events to help out Tiki Kate and Marie recently. It was the artists who donated their art for these auctions, but we also bought tickets for the event (in the case of Mariepalooza), bid on other artists pieces and we bought raffle tickets. Yeah, artists are such assholes.

This thread sucks. The thread title should be changed, Zeta!
