Advice for Art Majors

I was one of those, but then I graduated. Now I am a bachelor…of arts…but also a regular bachelor, which makes me DOUBLE ELIGIBLE. This flowchart should help any potential artists to determine their place in the creative world without any unnecessary existential pondering.

witness the failure!

    doesn't help But I am the definite nuance against your conclusion for I DO EAT, DRAW, WRITE, CURSE AND AM the COMPUTER GRAPHIC COORDINATOR YOU diss for a clearer feature w resume concersn. I Be a trained, schooled anc combative illustrator with WAY much white spacidge against YOUR gnarpht fellow to clearly have NO CLUE what so ever about where we are as artists...you buffoon, jackass and unholy thinker!!! (but I AM female, and that's where you went wrong with this conclusion)
  • Oh yay! Cartoonist!
    Oh God, how do I make that into a career?!
    THIS DOESN'T HELP!
  • YOU GOTTA BELIEEEEVE.
  • JakobG
    And say Bam Bam Bam when I say Boom Boom Boom.
  • haha, I said that without even thinking of Parappa, good catch.
  • haha, I made that comment without even thinking about Parappa, good catch.

  • Sunday
    surprisingly spot on flow chart. do you still do commissions?
  • Glad you liked it, and yes, I definitely do. Drop me an email (hctanner AT gmail.com) and we'll talk.
  • awesome
  • YOU are.
  • *thinks I'm funny* Yay! :D Cartoonist!

    Not sure why, but the one made me giggle the most was the Serifs comment.
  • Those silly typographers, always ripe for jokes.
  • Classic :D
  • heh. this made me laugh.

    apparenlty i'm still a cartoonist...like i thought.
  • Not a bad place to be, if I say so myself.
  • GrassDog
    Ack! I'm a cartoonist that's been hired as a graphic designer! No wonder I've been feeling out of place and under appreciated!
  • 'tis a sign of the times.
  • GrassDog
    Ah, well, I'd always thought it was just the plight of the cartoonist, as Berkeley Breathed would have it.
  • well put sir.
  • Tom
    Graphic design.

    I use so much white space, it's racist: hah!
  • barukay
    photomanipulator! :))
  • Name
    XP damnit there's the program illustrator but no Illustrator? Fail!
  • I like to think that option represents both the adobe program AND being an illustrator.
  • The sad thing is I really am a journal cartoonist. Shit I need to get funny fast.
  • uh oh, TIME FOR SOME HIJINX
  • yeah all i need is some drunken adventures and a zany sidekick and then i can just be a "slice of life" comic
  • so it's off to the liquor store for you then! I can't wait to see the results!
  • meghasissues
    Found the results at the last convention I worked at but unfortunately they are nsfw and I had to leave them out of the webcomic. At least we got some good sketches done of that drunk boy we convinced to model for us. *insert wink and witty remark here*
  • Synned
    Where's "All of the Above?"

    ;)
  • bluesy
    hehe MSpaint. XD

    Got Mspaint?
    Used to play video games with sprites?
    FUCK YES WEBCOMIC
    Or as i like to say 95% of Drunk duck, smack jeeves has alot but they are probably also Yaoi.
  • or as I call them, "reminders that I'm not a TOTAL hack."
  • JakobG
    One week before, I was caroonist.
    Now I am Graphic designer.
  • Hharrison
    What's a printmaker to do? Sadface!
  • don't wipe your tears, you'll get ink on your face.
  • Hharrison
    It's funny...cause it's true.
  • timot
    cool
  • scc
    nice one! i also posted it on my blog. hope it's ok ;)
  • it's definitely okay! glad you liked it!
  • Beautiful! "Sometimes I stay up late and think about serifs..." Err, it happens ;)
  • they're just so..."seriffy"
  • Guest
    This is almost right. Except the last two on the right. A typographer would totally have Illustrator. And any self respecting graphic designer would have InDesign, Illustrator AND Photoshop.
  • All very accurate. I eschewed details in favor of comedy, perhaps next time I'll strike a better balance!
  • artist.
    hmm no options for actual artists other than painters pfft.
  • haha yeah I was running out of space, what's your specialty?
  • the process looks very complicated! I can draw but I don't think I belong in that diagram! lol :D
  • I got graphic designer. It is correct! (Although it's not the only thing I am, it's the only thing I trained for)
  • BEST...COMIC...EVERRRR <3
  • THAAAANK YEEEEW
  • thejollity
    You know what's funny is that when I took an oil painting class, there were long stretches of time when my paints actually did smell like fruit.

    I wish I was joking.
  • What fruit did "burnt sienna" smell like?
  • thejollity
    Kind of like banana, actually.
  • lucas13
    what do you mean "you don't get it?" ,lol so true
  • Its not often I lol in real life, but dear god when I got to my career at the end I couldn't stop laughing.
  • Such praise! I am unworthy!
  • This is outrageously true. :O
  • StrikeFear13
    Aww you forgot a path for us 3d artists :(
  • That's because 3D artists are way too talented to be included on this list.
  • Lizard-Zilla
    I got Graphic Designer. The cool thing about this is that I actually am one! ^_^
  • The System Works!
