Is ART HURTING MY CHANCES?

[trojanman88]

I go to art school so there is a stereotype that goes along with that. People from other schools think that we dont normally like to have fun and ****... I think :crackup: but yeah the people at the dorms think we are just on crack and we are non social I believe it is have ing real affect for my game. So like im thinking of transfering to a bigger school like metro so I can get the social life that im looking for a penny for your thoughts plz.

Are you seeking social acceptance or are you looking to better your life!!!

I'm a Laker fan, awesome drawing

Have you taken your sketch book out clubbing with you? Can you imagine ANY girl NOT wanting to pose for you???? Tell them you need them to pose nude! Worked for me when I was in art school.

I think that one of the famous sosuave Master Bible guys went to art school. He said it was one of the best ideas, because you are surrounded by women.

Dude you need to get more involved in the art community. There are some FREAKY hot chicks at art openings.

 

[Mr. Wolf]

Women love artists. You can game art women, other women, any women you want, just bring up that you're an artist. You have an edge over other guys.

You can be like Jack from Titanic...

 

[LostAndConfused]

Are you seeking social acceptance or are you looking to better your life!!!

Or are the two the same? (Rhetorical question, haha).

But yeah do what Mr. Wolf said, play it to your advantage. Do a quick sketch of the girl, maybe mess up a few features on purpose to make it funny, and your in!

Warriors > Lakers.

And don't be a scrubbed out, pothead looking ass. Keep a clean composure and high level of sophistication.

But then again, being a little out there can work very well too. Depends on you.

My mother always told us, "with art- do it for fun....just don't make a living of it."

How RIGHT she is! Unless you have incredible connections in the art industry- do it as a novelty. The business is saturated with unrecognized, great talent.

To me- art school is a complete waste of money.

 

[I.A.F.Y.B.]

Does it really matter what other people think about your school? They don't know you! Just prove them wrong by being fun and outgoing. Not to get their acceptance but, for yourself.

When I was your age, I didn't have time for a social life. You kids these days.

Actually, the issue was that everyone was so overworked that if you helped others out, your grades would suffer. I don't think I slept a normal sleep for two years because my art school trained me to be a habitual insomniac.

But, we still managed to get some fun stuff in. My friend and I were huge pranksters, so if we had a few minutes, we'd come up with a prank that wouldn't take a lot of time.

Now, the only stereotype that I felt we guys encountered was that "male artist" = "big flaming gay guy" which believe it or not, wasn't always true.

But as far as being anti social, not really. A few of us were huge geeks, but other than that... I would hang out with most f the guys in my class and feel comfortable just hanging out. So yeah, it was hard to do, but we got some fun in. If it's iimportant enough, you'll figure out a way. Just don't over do it. College isn't just for the parties. If you've got a great college that challenges you, you enjoy the work, and you have friends, don't go to a lesser school just because thhe parties are better.

I believe it is have ing real affect for my game.

your game ?!?!?!!? WTF are you talking about ?

How does being an artist that attends an art school affect your game ??..YOU NEVER HAD GAME TO BEGIN WITH !

So like im thinking of transfering to a bigger school like metro so I can get the social life that im looking for

what idiot chooses schools by how much partying they can do ???

Being an illustrator and concept designer myself I can say that my choice in careers has never earned me a bad rap with anyone. Most people don't have any genuine interest in art but they also don't stereotype you unless you give them a reason.

Young brother, I'm in the market for a portrait of Andy Moog and Ray Bourque from thier Boston Bruins days.

I try not to solicite this way but damn you have a great eye for composition and lighting.

Let me know if you're interested because I certainly am.

Now, on to your dilemma. You have to realize it's us artists who have seperated the cavemen from neanderthals. Art seperates those who can only conquer through brute force rather than those who battle with our intellect and unbridled enthusiasm. The caveat being you must be an artist for art's sake. Not for attention and certainly not for a woman. Make your art for the passion of it.
