I use the term "serious artist", to distinguish people who bust their

willing to pay them.

Sometimes the same people, do both kinds of work, but I refuse to take
commercial design seriously as art. Most designers have so bought into
the capitalist model, however, that they seem unable to comprehend
this...

PS. I think js needs a hug. Most people I know trying to do "serious
art" are quite nice and no pretentious. Crazy, definitely, but not
really pretentious. Now hipsters, on the other hand...
