Do you/Have you been to art school (of any sort)?
I do technically go to an art school, but for things I don't necessarily deem entirely artistic. I mostly see what I do as technology oriented, but there is an element of creativity involved.

If so why? Or if you havn't, why not?
Welp, I applied to schools and got accepted to them so I was stuck with deciding which to go with. I eventually narrowed it down to three schools. One was another art school and they were offering me $10,000 for housing. I would've only had to pay about $1,000-$500 to dorm there, but it was located in Philly. My parents weren't cool with Philly since some areas are really bad there and it's relatively far away from home. And then I decided against NYU because it was more expensive and they don't offer as much editing and filming equipment as the school I'm going to now.

Thoughts on art school?
The people at my art school seem laid back, but they're in to partying too. They're not the typical frat people at parties, but they're chill nonetheless. They're more like hispters I guess. I think going to art school is important if your focus is in something proactive. In other words, I think it's pointless if you want to become a painter because the likelihood of someone becoming a successful painter is well, not very likely. It's great for animation, advertising, and film majors though.
