You should talk to me about these things. I DO go to art school

Fashion Design Girls!!!: Ehhhh the fashion design girls as Syracuse are largely idiotic but that doesn't really play into this 'cause MOST girls at Syracuse are largely idiotic. The ones who AREN'T complete morons really enjoy what they're doing and are passionate about it and will....probably be making a lot more money than I will in the future, if they make a name for themselves. It seems like it's really fun and REALLY satisfying to see your clothes actually being modelled by real models walking down the runway (we have a biannual fashion show for the fashion department at SU and it's actually kind've cool, I've seen pictures and a friend of mine is one of the models

wow andrew you kick ass for taking the time to write this. Yeah, all the negatives you mentioned are basically why I'm feeling torn. I've be drawn to illustration lately (no pun intended, really.) but whenever I ask question about it on college tours the two words "graphic novel" come up and all that makes me think of is like...mangas...which freak me the hell out.

And fashion - that's my problem. I don't want to be one of THOSE girls. I like to sew and sometimes I make really bizarre/cool things, but nothing I would consider to be overly fashionable. therein lies a problem.

Yo, be an illustrator. If you're really thinking about it, come to NYC some time this summer when I go down to the Society of Illustrators for Tuesday Night Figure Drawing and Jazz and you'll se just how epic it really is to be an illustrator and then we can go get drunk in Brooklyn and then drunkenly take the F train to my friend's apartment and wake up with tattoos of dolphins eating corn dogs on our faces go to museums and see the Society's illustration museum downstairs. You should also see some of my stuff in non-internet form so you can get an idea of what you'd be doing. A lot of illustrators DO work on graphic novels for shits and giggles but it shouldn't be the ONLY thing people talk about when you ask about illustration on a tour. If you want, I can check out your portfolio thus far too and let you know what you might need to have more of or whatever

that'd be awesome, I think Im going to NY this summer anyways to check out schools. Figure drawing is funnnn I go to the monday night one here in cohasset.

You havn't figure drawn 'till you've done it at the Society. There's live jazz music, awesome models, free unlimited food with cover charge (15 bucks...last time it was make-your-own-tacos), and open bar.

Not to mention the bathrooms have original James Montgomery Flagg drawings just HANGIN' OUT like, "s'up we're prolly worth about $100,000 and we're in a bathroom." As well as the giant J.C. Lyendecker painting in the cafe right next to the Coles Phillips fadeaway girl. Christ. It's so epic there.

I'll IM you or something next time I'm thinking about going (possibly NEXT tuesday...)
