although I never even dreamed of going to art school I always wished I could... here in the middle of Europe you only get in if you either 1) know people or 2) are so icredibly talented and good and awesome that every pencil stroke makes everyone around you go "WOW holy shit"...
I always liked to draw, and recently it has been pointed out to me again that I could make money of it... flying through your long text... hm. makes me believe that I somehow could more and more practice, some investment (to draw digitally for example) and not giving up.
