Client: Hello, I have written a children’s book with an ecological focus and
would love for you to illustrate it.

Me: Neat, what is your schedule and how much
have you budgeted for the illustrations?

Client: Well I’d like to have it printed in two
months, but I can’t pay you unless the book sells. The grant I applied for the
book only covered the writing. But the subject matter is important to you,
isn’t it? Think of it as activism!
