This is making me think of our old Cheapass Games donation chart. “Artist” got grouped with “Living with Parents” on the “ability to pay” axis. 😏

Old graphic from Cheapass Games, titled “How much should I pay for this free game?” It is presented as a diagonally set chart with quantities shown by a grid of vertical pillars, rising in height the further they are from the front corner. The left hand axis is How was your gaming “experience”, ranging from “jury’s still out” to “best game ever!”. The right hand axis represents “ability to pay”, which begins with “Student/Teacher” as the lowest, succeeded by “Street Performer/Homeless”, “Ballroon Dance Instructor”, “Artist/Living with Parents”, “Flight Attendant/Cab Driver”, “Plumber/Sous-Chef/Fireman”, “Regional Sales Manager/Astronaut”, “Attorney/Brain Surgeon/Mb Boss”, and finally at the top, “Rock Star/Vampire/Dragon”.

True story: years ago, I was walking with a friend in KC when a panhandler came up to us and asked for money. My friend gave him a dollar and said “sorry I don’t have more - we’re artists.” The guy, without missing a beat, gives it back and goes “you need this more than I do.” And walks away.
