Here's what I think about art school now that I've been out for a few years. Finishing art school is like "baby steps" for getting into art.

It's not much different than my digital stuff--except, you know--traditional.

I'm the opposite right now, I can do stuff with traditional medium I don't know how to pull off in digital.

Its damn fast though.
