What does this mean for us as Artists?

If Mr/Ms Moneybags walked up to you and said, I want you to make an artwork for me and you come up with the your best painting/Photo but it breaks taboos, would you censor it or go for it?

For me it would depend on 3 sets of factors.

  1. Do I need the money?
  2. How much I liked my original idea and how much work it would be to comply to the requirements?
  3. What impressions I had of the company/person.

We will ignore the stuff with being successful vs "selling out" for artists.
