    Look at illustration, that's where anyone with actual picture-making ability is. A lot of illustrators make fine art too, since illustration isn't much of an industry these days, sadly.
    How can you argue with James Jean? Kent Williams? Malcolm Liepke? Dan Adel? Those are just a few super talented, hard working cross-over dudes off the top of my head.

    If you think the art world sucks, you're not looking hard enough.

    • illustration is a bit soul-less art. look at Malcolm Liepke? yes, he's an illustrator and nothing more - pretty pictures with no soul or ideas.pr2
    • heart or ideas.pr2
    • ouch man, i'm an illustrator - i hope i'm not soulless... i'll look inside shortly, after i eat some childrenbjladams
    • ok, soul-less might be too strong but i suspect you are not interested in reaching the "glory" with your work.pr2
    • dont understand "reaching glory"? hold on, my puppy's almost done cooking, brb ;-)bjladams
    • you know, by throwing those smirk remarks you are not really helping discussion here...pr2
    • my apologies- i draw because i like to, and i get $ for it. i'm not sure what else there is really to say... i'll carry on with my day i suppose.bjladams
    • suppose...bjladams
