The Rise And Fall (and Rise) (& Fall) and Rise of the American Contemporary Art Scene.....

What the fuck is WRONG with this country. What? Just because American animation design tends to be simpler than Japanese design, suddenly every American artists wants to relocate to Japan.

Fuck man. The fuck is WRONG with you people??! Show some goddamn pride in local art and your OWN country's art.

Just because the Japanese draw well doesn't mean you automatically have to anonymously pass yourself off as one. There are options out there other than manga and anime: Like Organic Architecture, Noir, Notan, Design, Production Design, Costume (or "fashion") design, and Conceptual Design. As well as genres Japan shies away from, like Fantasy, Illustration, Science Fiction, Gothic, Science-Fantasy, and Fine Art.
