A FIELD GUIDE TO ART STUDENTS:   THE UNDERESTIMATED GREEK
The Underestimated Greek looks like the stereotypical frat boy/sorority girl. They come with all the trappings: 
vacant-sounding diction 
UGG boots
sideways ballcaps
popped collars
fraternity hoodies
nacho cheese-colored skin
Because art students are usually snobby hipsters, many (including professors) jump to the conclusions that they are not good artists because they don’t have the correct look and pledged something. 
Fun Fact: The Underestimated Greeks are the most mocked art student at major university art schools!
However, nothing is logical at art school, so naturally these people often are some of the best artists in the program and often have the best attitudes. They also usually leave the Greek system around their junior year out of disgust and become either hipsters and/or pre-med majors.

This guide to art school survival will help you save years of torture, misspent money, and sliced-off fingertips. This is what art school is REALLY about.

If I can get this book published, I pledge to use some of my profits to start a scholarship for low-income students to get art supplies. (I was one, and supplies are very expensive.)

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"This site is too deep and funny for words....I read every word.....I am an art student...." - Taylor Negron, comedian, actor, artist

"I rolled through 'My Art Comes Before My Grade.'...You're keeping the FUNNY rolling right along while at the same time exposing the bullsh*t of teachers, students and the defining of Art and assignments...(GOOD SHOW)!" - Gregory Hollimon, "Strangers With Candy"

"Holy shit! Art School Survival = awesome." - Michael Shamalla, MFA, Landscape Architecture

"The hygiene one made me laugh out loud. i had a flea named Diego myself once." - Sarah Rohan, BFA, Painting

"Your book is reality...I am now realizing what it means to be a starving artist." - Kary Fernandez, BA, Arts

"Overall the site is rather disappointing...There are lots of funny things about art-school tropes. Daniel Clowes did it well. It was as smart as it was cutting. Your project is not...Your students deserve better than this. Your behavior is disgraceful. For someone who is teaching art and clams to care about artists and students, you are a disappointment." - Matt Kenyon., associate professor of New Media
