LadyM, you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm also about to graduate from art school. I started out so confident, doing my own thing. But then it's, You can't do that. That's not real art. Why did you come here if that's what you want to do? I wanted to be an illustration major, but I switched to fine art because it had more options. I can't touch my paints or pencils anymore. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I graduate, because they've ruined everything I used to love about art.
