the life of a sell out

Disclaimer: To any art major/artist, I still respect you.

I am an art major, more specifically a graphic design major. For some reason, whoever organized this institution decided to put graphic design in the school of art. This makes some sense, seeing as any decent graphic designer should know how to draw, but graphic design belongs more with advertising and marketing in my opinion. Or at least equal class requirements from each end.

Anyways, in the years I've been an art major, the minute I mention my specialty to any coffee-addicted, high-wired, paint-covered artist, they roll their eyes and somehow imply that I am not an artist, I am simply someone who wished they had a creative bone in their body who happens to be computer savvy.

I'm okay with it. At least I'll make some money in my career...

Now, I'm not saying there aren't any talented art majors at my school... I'm just saying that most of the time my artistic skill is dismissed right when I confess my unworthy major.

This is where I am going to share my journeys in the art world, critique other sell outs and hopefully redeem my seemingly low and laughable career.
