The Last Art Direction Class
I try to keep this space free from the whole "Dear Diary" thing. Even when I describe parts of my life, I try to inform entertain and educate.
Yes, I ripped that off of PBS. It works
Tonight was the last class for Art Direction. I have an o.k. eye, according to my teacher, but it's time to face facts; I'm a better writer than artist, so it's time to start admitting it as my trade.
So, tonight was an eye-opener for that, because I've never wanted to admit to not being an artist, or artistic in nature. THis is mainly because, when I was younger, I went to a vocational school for fine art, and was pretty good at it too.
Sort of.
I didn't think too highly of my work, even though others did.
That was a long time ago, and it's time to focus on doing what I'm good at for a living. I have a friend who lives in New York, and is a very good graphic designer, and has really good illustration work too. He's been wanting to make comics for awhile. I also have a friend in Oregon who's no slouch, either.
I can see it now...

My dear, you ARE an artist. Just not of the sketching and oil paint variety. You could, but you didnt want to work that hard. You are an idea machine, a word smith and really funny-you always have been. Whats more, your teacher admitted you "get" advertising, which is more than can be said for 90% of your classmates. Just do what you do best, and you'll be fine.
And NO, not that.
