I may have received more for the Heavenly Blue Wedding. It was the year's major project and had many more figures. I was either offered more or bargained for more.<br /><br />I wouldn't have done those for $300."</i><br /><br /> and her needing to negotiate higher fees . How far the illustration market has fallen today! If adjusted for inflation , $300 in 1955 dollars is equivalent to <b>$2,388.00 dollars</b> in 2010. And yet to offer just one example among many I could name I have a brilliant (female) illustrator friend who is getting offered work to do full-color covers for $300 to $500 <b>in 2010 dollars</b> (sometimes even lower , like $175 for a full color illustration !) , so the rates being offered today are WAY below what was being offered in the 1950's . Where will our great illustrators come from if there is no motivation to be in the business with those kind of low rates being offered ?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162612139500138953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708685529128898599.post-35455318644213549962010-03-02T12:42:01.911-08:002010-03-02T12:42:01.911-08:00Hi Leif,
