Looking at the stuff produced by my fellow students i can definetly say that painting is not dead, but is actually raising in its "power" (i understand that u said that more to get our atention rather then to make a statement). That said...
The sad truth is that no, one cannot be a designer and a painter. Nor Illustrator and a painter. All of those are completely different proffesions. Designers deal mostly with what's cool -- meaning thety look around and try to predict what would be "better" looking at the current situtaion. That way of thinking is soooo far away from what painters do. The greates thing about painting is that is so hones. Evne though it's lieing all over the place pretending that it's something it's not, it is still very personal internal conversation of the painter -- something no designer or illustartor is capable in everyday life (dealig with clients, etc).
Dude, u have good skills, but still you clinge too much to illustration (i'm assuming u don't want to do illustartion). We know you know how to paint, not you shoul also show me that you have ideas. (I sound to pompus, i know).
