the amount of job postings I've seen for an "Illustrator" that have "animation" listed in the responsibilities... yall are looking for an animator. these are different jobs. please.
rich kids being able to do art for a living may be a reflection of their privilege but it seems to me like a reflection of the fact that a human that doesn't have to worry about money will often choose art. everyone is an artist until rent is due. i wish we all had that right
