As a person who has made professional art for over 30 years, let me tell you some hilarious shit. - I remember when artists freaked the fuck out when photoshop and digitizers came out. Digital art was going to ruin jobs for artists. (It didnt) - I was there when artists freaked the fuck out when video games made the transition from 2D games to 3D games because making 3D art, was going to ruin "art" in video games and making 3D art wasn't "real" art. (It didnt ruin art and it is real art) **Literally knew people personally that quit making games because they hated the transition to 3D. The thing with "real" artists, is that artists adapt and make art, regardless of the medium and typically don't give two flying shits about what "other" artists are doing because you should be busy just being you and creating what your heart tells you. Be it on Canvas Digital 2D/3D Side of a building Macaroni Art Sculpting Music Dance Sports ... or whatever the NEW thing is that comes along every couple of years or so. If you create - you are an artist. Period. You do you, whatever that is and let your soul be happy. Its nobody else's business what that is. The cool thing about art in any form is that its subjective and if you dont like it - don't participate. There is lots of bad art. Lots of great art and everything inbetween. Don't like peas, don't eat peas. Easy. No one needs to hear about how much you hate peas. That's your problem.
