Currently in a similar position although I'm already in college and am trying to balance things out. For starters, throw out that "other people think I should end up as a scientist, etc." mindset as soon as you can, it will only hurt you. The fact is, you'll only get depressed if you feel the need to meet other people's…
Blaugh! I'm not sure of the origin of this image. It might just be fan art, but one can hope. Someone posted some interesting speculative info on my forum which was ripped from somewhere else. I shall continue the trend and dump it here: __________________ Little monsters: Many people speculated before the second trailer…
Hey Folks, So this really is what it sounds like, an offer to get paid to make art in the comfort of your own home. It also includes new hardware, IT support, competitive salary / benefits / 401k match and other goodies.

The project is titled ‘The Archaeologist’ and is a sci-fi film about a robot in the far future who comes across a human being, a…
I'm still in that phase of "must get better, suck to much right now" to even consider getting a "real" life. I think what balances me out is my friends / roomies who I can hang out with whenever, talk about stupid shit with, and drink vast amounts of alcohol with... the other thing that helps is no girlfriend *lamesauce…
Touchy topic, it's a little hard giving advice for this kind of stuff because a lot rides on it and everyone has biases one way or another. So i'll try to give my view on art schools (I go to AI San Diego) as unbiased as possible, with what little comprehension of the big picture (going through school and landing a job)…
