Just 2 days ago, I commissioned a work from a local painter.

People support artists in many ways. One of those ways is paying to enjoy the things they produce.



Commissions are the same as Kickstarter, IE you pay before it's created. In no way does something like this have any bearing on works by commission, in fact it puts things back on the path of human traditions, which have typically relied on commissions, patronage or performance, rather than ownership.
