Too commercial? Sounds pretty haughty to me. And snooty. Anyway, at least your yearbook hair flows with everyone else's. I was striving for the Farrah, which meant perms and spray. My hair has never forgiven me.
Rejected for being "commercial"? So they only want to graduate students who make art that nobody will ever want to buy?
That's not the way to create a generation of successful artists. That's how you make a bunch of losers who never move out of their parents' basement, wondering why nobody wants to buy their art.
It's all for the best you didn't go there. Although the world may not see you as the next Rembrandt, hundreds of millions of people have watched and enjoyed your work and you've (I hope) made a good living doing it.
Which is a lot better than a bunch of college professors singing your praises a hundred years after you've passed on.
Too commercial? I consider this a lame excuse for, "Uh oh, this one is dangerously gifted. Get her ditched."
So glad you kept aiming for your goals

Love your story, Nancy!
hope to see you at our 50th CHS Reunion in September 😊
Bob, I have no plans to go. I may be at the Reubens in August. Maybe not traveling at all.
