Why Is It?

mrlich Why is it that every time someone asks me to do illustration work for them they feel the need to insist "It should be something easy for you." or "I'm sure you can whip that out in no time."
If it's so easy, then why aren't you doing it yourself and saving the money?
Because it's not. That's why you're hiring me.
I'm envisioning people greeting their surgeon with "Oh - it shouldn't be any big deal for you - you've done all that schooling, worked hard, and got some experience under your belt. You should be able to rip out my appendix in seconds! So let's say you give me a discount huh?"

On the plus side, you may have inspired me just now to create a very specific video. I'll post it if I make it. :)
