make art or make game stuff? that is the question.

make both obviously. time is not unlimited resource. Interest, passion, and joy must also be considered

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Controversial opinion time but I'm sick of art schools doing "illustration and concept art" courses as if those weren't two separate career paths that deserved undivided study to master. At this point just make a "paint on the computer" course and call it a day.
