The article discusses the challenges faced by a 25-year-old artist known as u/paletteofemotionss, who was pressured by her mother's goddaughter, Jen, to give her a painting for free. Despite Jen's offer to promote the artist on Instagram, the artist declined due to financial constraints. Jen insisted on receiving the painting without payment, even claiming her marketing would benefit the artist more than the artwork itself. This situation escalated when Jen resorted to involving the artist's mother, creating additional tension in their relationship. It highlights how personal relationships can complicate professional exchanges in the influencer-driven market.
"Jen saw that painting and became interested in one for her father. The problem is, she wanted me to do it for free."
"She accused me of being greedy and not having a vision for business, claiming that her exposure would be more valuable than my art."
