I use the term "serious artist", to distinguish people who bust their
asses off doing cool $h1t, often for little compensation; as opposed
to the kind of stuff that designers produce, on demand, for whoever is
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...
