 ===== Did you go to school for art? =====
-Yeah, and I mostly learned how much I don't like school or the art industry.  I had a few cool teachers, and I snuck into a couple of illustration classes.  I didn't learn that much about drawing from the animation classes.  I found the general humanities classes (media criticism, feminism, gender studies, intersection of race) more enlightening for my creative process lmao.
+Yeah, and I mostly learned how much I don't like school or the Art Industry (tm).
+I went to [[https://www.csssa.ca.gov/|CSSSA]] after high school, and had a good time. Especially cuz the cost of room/food was less than it would be for me to live at home LOL.
+I went to animation school after that. I had a few cool teachers, and I snuck into a couple of illustration classes.  I didn't learn that much about drawing from the animation classes.  I found the general humanities classes (media criticism, feminism, gender studies, intersection of race) more enlightening for my creative process lmao.. Also there's a lot of racism and sexism and sexual assault and overall abuse in The Art World that people don't want to talk about because they need to e-beg for jobs.
+I learned more about art by sneaking into classes outside of my major, by experiencing shit in my life, and by doing jobs. Doesn't matter if it's just a couple of craigslist gig or proper contract work. Doesn't matter if it's a free art anthology with strangers. Doing applicable things helps my brain, rather than reading and theorizing.
+I do not wish to go back to school. Maybe I'd take cooking classes or pottery or something NOT drawing/work related though.
 I'm sure other people have a better time at art school if they are into "networking with industry contacts" or "learning how to perform for a professional standard".  I'm kind of a no good learning disabled hooligan with oppositional defiance disorder.
