In today’s market (60+ years later) for a similar spread in a national magazine you can expect to only be paid $1,000.
It’s not my chosen profession in commercial arts that makes me poor, it’s the constant, deliberate devaluing of labor of artists and creatives which makes me poor.

These are spreads for McCall's magazine by Andy Virgil, 1959. Each spread was paying about $1,500 at that time. Today that would be between $9,000-$12,000. The average price of a brand new car in 1959 was $2,200.

Trying to finish a drawing lately is extremely difficult. I will have to be content with letting these just be sketches.
