Art School Stereotypes

As I have hinted at before in previous posts I went to art school. I spent my college years studying illustration and cartoon animation in Philadelphia. Even though I ended up working in computers as a career I have never stopped drawing and putting out cartoons and comics. I apply all the things I picked up during those days in the studio.

Today I came across a great post on Chuck Dillon's blog that really hits home and brings back memories. He's an art school teacher and has posted a series of funny character profiles of the different types of students he's had in his class. Based on my own experience I see these as being so true and accurate. I can point to each one and name several people I knew in school. Personally, I was probably a mix between the Brownoser Student and the Metal Student. Throw in some of the Stressed Student near the end of each semester and I think that was me.
