Yeah true. The price tag issue for me there is he doesn't have that reputation yet in the art scene so he should've priced it a bit lower. Another thing is that he was able to get into Manila art that easy... which is quite insulting to the full-time artists who work hard (cos joining Manila Art Fair is not easy) and they didn't ban his work lol.
Thank you so much! I will! And am more confident now that you said that :)
