I was lucky enough to get to work with @emobarkz on a new design for the paca shop!
I'm gonna be honest, I do not care if I sell any. This shirt was made for me and me alone but if you wanna wear it too I guess you can

People are quick to defend an artist’s right to charge what they want, but when a photographer asks for $250 for a shoot, the response is often, “It’s just a photo.”
Photographers have the same right to set their rates as any other artist.
Realistically, a fair rate for a one-hour shoot at a con should be closer to $500. It’s not just the hour spent shooting, there can be many additional hours of work afterward that the client never sees.
On top of that, photographers invest heavily in their gear, which comes with its own ongoing costs.
