Don’t conflate “being an artist” with “earning a living as an artist”. It’s badly wrong to buy into the implicit argument that how you describe yourself on your tax form is the fundamental part of your identity.

_anything_ that you do for its own sake is art.

@”ProbablySmarterThanYou”, you are the textbook definition of a closed-minded individual who cares about nothing in life but money. I’m going for an engineering degree as well, but I at least have a respect for those who choose to TRY to make a living off of anything art related. You are the reason why a lot of people view mathematicians and engineers as cold, boring people. Live life for reasons other than making money, please.

@Meetmeatthecenteroftheearth Oh god I lol’d. But seriously fantastic comic to whoever made it.

This is… really touching and uplifting. I could connect with the girl in the strip, I’ve been through all that… I’m still going through it. Thanks to the artist for making my day, my week..

@ProbablySmarterThanYou… it’s people like you that kill the arts and then wonder why there’s no good entertainment in the world for you anymore. I am quite happy living my life as a musical theater performer, and to me I don’t need money to make me happy with my career choice so I feel sorry for you that you do. Oh and by the way I graduated from both high school and college with honors so you can get off your high horse about being smarter than other people.

It’s anthropomorphic because it’s talking to her, which is a human characteristic. I love this. It’s very inspiring :]

What a sweet irony that the artist’s name is nowhere to be found. Who is it?
