***IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:***
It's important to note that throughout my rant, I'm not calling out teachers or schools that advocate for "hard work". I'm by far NOT an anti-hard-work artist. I too work very hard and I put everything I have into what I do.
I'm aiming to call out schools or influencers who push the "if you aren't destroying your health for your career then you'll never amount to anything" type of extremist attitude.
Know as well that my aim has been and will always to be unite our artistic community, NOT divide it. I will never stand behind the idea of separating our amazing online art community into a "good teacher/bad teacher" alliance. I don't believe in alliances, they're divisive and overall destructive.
Lastly, I have mentioned a shortlist of schools that I supported, but please don't regard this as an exhaustive list. I was speaking spontaneously and just whipped a few names off the top of my head, but there are MANY unmentioned schools that I completely support publicly and stand behind proudly.
Thank you!
