Sharpest Crayon posted:Real question: are there really that many right-wing artists and creatives? Seems sort of a redundant classification. oh man a lot of "apolitical" art groups on facebook are loving chock full of them believe me lmao. its impossible to talk about art like adults (subjects like cultural appropriation, gender/feminism in art, movements like surrealism or dada) without getting called a soyboy feminazi cuck unless you specifically weed those people out on facebook.

random thing but does anyone struggle with having too much reference and getting overwhelmed? like recently ive found that keeping my reference down to just a handful of really good images helps me immensely in clearing out "mental clutter" and related problems

https://twitter.com/leighlahav/status/1012102806566723584quote:When I started at Pixar as an intern, I thought I’d landed my dream job. But my excitement was quickly tempered by a flood of warnings about Lasseter’s touchy-feely, boundary-crossing tendencies with female employees. It was devastating to learn, right from the start, that women were open targets for disrespect and harassment –– even at a world-renowned workplace in the most liberal-leaning city in the country. I was likewise told to steer clear of a particularly chauvinistic male lead in my department. Much like John, this man’s female targets had been reporting his vulgar, unprofessional behaviors for years, but his position and demeanor remained much the same. https://variety.com/2018/film/news/pixar-boys-club-john-lasseter-cassandra-smolcic-1202858982/ its cool how multiple times when ive brought stuff like this up to other men in the games/animation industry i get told to not talk about it but jesus loving christ this poo poo is so sickening

Stuporstar posted:Don't feel too bad. A high-school buddy of mine was rejected due to submitting "cartoon art" so portfolio judges often disqualify prospective students based on prejudice rather than whether you can draw or not. I took an evening figure drawing course the year before I applied and submitted my best work from that--got in easily that way. i think my traditional drawing stuff was fine but i definitely got accepted to a couple art schools because i had a bunch of digital 3d stuff in my portfolio. a lot of those art schools were (and still are) launching bigger 3d/game/vfx centered programs so they prob were looking for students who were/are into that stuff? jokes on them tho i ended up going to mica and im focusing almost entirely on woodworking and sculpture rn. the mica sculpture department is awesome and im super happy to be there. (im still working as a freelance 3d artist rn to pay bills tho) Kanine fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jul 1, 2018 |

Sharpest Crayon posted:I feel for ya buddy. When I applied for art college, part of the "points" was your grade school averages, the other part was three pieces we had to make in an exam. This way, if your school average was poor (like if you sucked at math and history and gymnastics), your excellent artistic ability could give you the points to carry over and get you in. im happy tho at my school (mica) this seems to be rapidly getting better. (according to friends currently at sva, risd, scad, ringling, and calarts this is also tru there.) Kanine fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jul 1, 2018 |

In regards to Lasseter, I've seen too many shitheads go "This is PC run rampant", or "I don't understand what Lasseter is accused off" and " He's a great inspiration for us along with Catmull". yeah

Sure the quality of the movie might be amazing and it could be a cult classic but that's small comfort when you are suddenly unemployed and have to claw your way back into a highly-competitive job market. capitalism.txt

that brings up another question i have actually, when climate change, economic collapse, and the resultant political turmoil make poo poo hit the fan over the next two decades do you think you're going to keep trying to be an artist? personally ill probably be the guy in my leftist militia that makes cool propaganda posters to paste all over the burned out city we're liberating

FunkyAl posted:speaking as someone who was smoking about daily for the past couple years, quitting weed is probably also gonna help your focus and motivation. Ive been on "the wagon" about a month and am noticing i am much sharper than i have been for a while i stopped smoking weed when i graduated high school and when to art college and now i have way better focus but massive anxiety/depression problems. luckily im medicated now but my first two years at art school i was getting panic attacks several times a week from the stress and i got really close to self-medicating again

avshalemon posted:it's complex! i have a congenital brain injury, and a lot of the pain that i'm in at the moment, as well as issues throughout my life, are due to muscular problems caused by that (both from effects of the injury on my general muscle tone, and the various weird things that happen around the surgical site). so right now it's actively loving with my ability to create art. but on the other hand, the differences in my brain have definitely contributed to my, um, interesting personality - which is where the art comes from. without the damage i wouldn't have the problems, but i might also not have the art. so i guess if i could have it my way, i'd keep my strange brain but encase it in a tungsten shell of terrifying power, and be able to shoot rockets out of my tits and rear end same but id get tired carrying around the rockets so i'd prob just want normal bullets or some kind of energy weapon even

also hey im curious how did you goons get into art? i grew up being obsessed with lego, and i think that informed a lot of my early fascination with 3d spaces. then the forge mode in halo 3 transitioned into me making custom maps for pc games like counters-strike. from that i transitioned into game environment art because i found it a lot more fun making levels that looked really nice and wanted to become better at that than anything else.

Since we're having a discussion about mental illness and art. Stress, Suicide, and the Savannah College of Art and Design How an art school in coastal Georgia is killing its students — and why no one is talking about it. I dropped out of MICA for very similar reasons to what was outlined in this article. Even if MICA isn't as bad, these issues are common in art schools and are part of the reason I'm hesitant to tell prospective students they should attend art school when they ask me about it.

you are only one single person. literally the only thing you can do while the world is ending is try to affect things at a reasonable level. for me this means helping organize labor/tenant unions through the iww, and helping address food scarcity through food not bombs.
