I don't think there's anything wrong with being a commoercial artist. All my favorite artists were commercial artists like Alphonse Mucha, Gil Elvgrn, and J.C. Leyendecker. I do hear ya about the appropriatness of what you push though. I ocassionally see a Rockabilly singer eprform named James Intveld. He has always sold CDs and T-Shirts at his shows but one time we saw he was also selling James Intveld pomade and James Intveld Body Oils. That was just funny to me. I guess wether or not something is appropriate as being marketable all depends in wether or not theres a market for it. If someone is willing to buy it then someone will show up to sell it.
