Anonymous: Thank you for making me feel better about not deciding to go to art school, haha. I agree with you completely. Thinking about how much money I have saved makes me glad im not buried deep in loans I will never be able to pay off with an artist's salary.

dear whoever it was

I’m sorry to hear that you have such sad, misguided optimism about what it means to be an “artist.”

My style, impeccable? I make small-scale, figurative, acrylic paintings on ready-made canvases in my spare time. I work in a pictorial style already well established by hundreds of thousands of illustrators.

Is being an artist enviable? Is it cool? Is it something extra special, something I should have forced my parents to throw down $240,000 for me to become? Art school would have been a terrible investment. If I were truly gifted with the skill and vision that it takes to be a successful artist, I shouldn’t need an institution to hold my hand and lead me through the creative process. 

The fact that you see my choice not to go to RISD as a waste of potential is incredibly presumptuous. Making a half dozen passably interesting paintings does not make me some kind of Bouguereau-in-seed. Basically, I find you incredibly naive.

we don’t exist in a world where money doesn’t matter

I don’t even like drawing shit for other people 

lol so fuck off
