Not I

My favorite customer is the child who pulls out the money from his pocket and hands me his sweaty rolled up money which he carefully counts out to pay for a portrait as a gift for some family member. Or the grandmother who pays me from her savings on her fixed income to have her grandchildren drawn who obviously cannot really afford it. My customers are mostly low to middle income, and my prices reflect my target market, I am afraid. But, I will make $20,000 or so next month drawing them.

An old expression goes like this: "Half a loaf is better than no bread."
