Man, what a downer. this evening I told my mom that I would be finished with my vector piece in a few days. Instead of an "oh okay" or something stupid like that, I get asked if working on it is really worth it and it goes onto this rant about how we can hardly afford anything and how I HAVE to get the maximum talent scholarship and how if I get into Hartford Art school I HAVE to get a succesful job in the art field with the degree. The fact is, I don't know if I can get any of that. Judging by what I read in other artist's LJ's, I might as well be told that I HAVE to win on my next lotto scratch-off. Seems that a lot of them barely get by with commisions and a job at a local coffee shop. Worse even: the ones that DO have jobs in the art industy never even went to an art college. It's shit like this that makes me feel like going to a community collage, majoring in communications and getting plastered till finals is actully a good idea: at least they don't have to deal with this shit on a regular basis!
Now I lost my urge to finish my work :/
