Thanks for the link! I just wanted to say that the concern over spec work is understood on our end and we're going to be making some changes to the site to make it more clear that it's not what the site is about. Remember, we're still in beta. We released it early to gather feedback, so thanks for that! Here's more thinking on the subject: http://pixish.com/news/3 It's important to remember that there is paid work on Pixish, and we'll be adding more tools to support that in short order. In the end, Pixish won't be right for everyone, and that's okay. But I hope you'll give us some time to improve the site and then give us another look. And definitely keep letting us know what you think! Hi, I’m Derek from Pixish. Thanks for the link!

"So yeah why don't you just submit a bunch of ideas and I'll pay you if I like any of them" Actually, this is even worse -- the illustrator gets a f'ing prize!?!? Way to devalue illustration!
