I would be curious as to why current folks who produce frames "now" in the KOF category maintain their motivation to the "art" and not for "business"?
It sounds like we are talking about selling out which to a business is just that but to some consumers who have emotion invested in the product it is something else.
I guess I can ask this directly then to the KOF's on the list. Why have you not sold out???
