What Art School Confidential is

Ah, art school. Where the air is thick with pretension and everyone's sculpting their inner demons. An aspiring artist navigates the treacherous waters of higher education, grappling with bitter rivalries and the elusive nature of artistic success. It is a pretty good primer on how to fail upward.
