oh fml this is so true. So much menstrual blood and nude “shock” art. Missing the dudes who lop off pig heads and places it in the concourse gallery to rot.

gallon of old cow blood poured onto the floor

‘drawing final’

my life rip

when me and mad were in 3D design class together there was this one kid I had secretly nicknamed “Olan Mills” because he dressed and acted as wholesomely as if he had stepped out of a ’70s yearbook photo

then for the final he made a Sculpey maquette of a wolf bloodily clawing its way out of a screaming naked woman’s womb

i remember it being a bit more of an awkward critique than usual

man what is w/ 3D design classes? one dude in mine made a sculpture of himself being eaten by his own giant, sentient dick.

FUN FACT: the third dimension in 3D design is actually “shock value”, apparently

Ian, our brains are just not high-concept enough to understand how birthing a whole live wolf is really artistic and not a visceral horror no sophomore college student was ever meant to see

The Sad part of this.  Is that … I kinda fit in the “I’m going to be a famous manga artist”… because there’s no … “Umm.. I kinda wanna draw comics or do concept art for video games” role in this thing… and I am working for viz… Dang it!  But yeah… That was pretty much my drawing class right then and there.

“Comics? That’s not exactly what we teach here. Right?“  "Yeah I thought you were going to teach us how to become better artists and instead you’re teaching us to convey messages with little to no techincal ability."   "Well if that was the case you should have gone to a more technical school.” “Oh I’m sorry, I thought I went to artschool to learn how to draw, but I guess I should expect much from the professor who’s talking down to me while wearing purple star pants, and hasn’t done any of his own projects in years.”

“You’re not exactly avantguarde” “And you are?”

… I was a trouble maker! a LONER! a Rebel!  Also apparently getting confrontational with professors was the only way to get their respect.  I had to do this 3 or 4 times with various professors, just to be like “listen, my ‘message’ I want to convey is I want to learn how to become better at What ever this class is…” My fault at choosing a “gallery art” school.
