No one gives a shit about classically trained painters beyond upvoting their work on reddit, and even commercial illustrators struggle to make ends meet. The most stable avenue for working in graphic design is advertising.

It seems everyone has an opinion on what makes good art, but no one wants to fucking pay for it. The top 1% of artists are basically con artists trying to trick the rich into impulse buys.

>impulse buys

Or financial instruments for all kinds of shenanigans, to include tax evasion using freeports to park nearly arbitrarily-priced assets (the best kind!).
