How long did that take to make? cont...

Inspired by a comment on my last post by Chaotic Black Sheep:
"There is a lot of time that goes into art that is unseen as well - conceptualizing, learning media & processes, learning composition, developing a style..."

Actually, the "unseen time" is reconciled with the first option. If you calculate your total yearly time and income to create your time and pricing for your art, you will inherently be including all that "unseen time."

Also, any education or other that was done prior to the year you are calculating should be represented in your hourly rate, not how many hours it took to create a piece. Like a doctor or lawyer that went to school 8 years and now charges $75 an hour. They don't add additional hours for all that expertise, they include it in their hourly rate.

So where does this lead us? Your value in money is not your true wealth or level of success. True wealth is a combination of financial, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual (that idea and list is totally stolen from "Harmonic Wealth" by James Arthur Ray). If money is only 1/5th of who you are, it's easier to put an exact value on it. Isn't it?


What are YOU worth?
