I had a fine art education, graduated and then spent 25 years doing other things before getting back to art... Now that is all I do.

I did some graphical design stuff for couple of years and currently work as freelancer while studying in a design school (more 3D stuff tho'). I'm not that good yet, but I aim to be :-D

I did art at school, and now I'm coming to the end of a 2 year diploma of Graphic Design. Mostly self taught though...

I'm going to art school right now. I'm a senior illustration major at RSAD. It's a four year BFA program.

I received a BFA at Pratt. A lot of young artists, especially in the computer game industry ask if it was worth it. They usually are considering no continuing education or a 2-3 year 3d graphic program. I always insist that the broad art foundation classes alone make a full 4 year program worth it. Pratt offered 3 years of life drawing, color theory, lettering *and* typography (2 seperate courses) ceramics, jewelry design, forge (welding, not fake money), art history, graphic design, etc.

After graduating, I learned PS and Max.

Two years at tmcc.

Not prestigious, but cheap, and it had good instructors.

No student loan to pay off, baby.

I did 2 years at an art school here in New Zealand, and discovered my true hatred for Arte. I then quit art school and have since been working as a web designer while hunting for a job as a game artist.

second year at ECIAD www.eiciad.bc.ca and lovn it, I have had a ton of private art classes by an ex disney animator and his sis since I was about eight and that helped lay down the fundamentals hard and fast.

I am a Interdisciplinary media major and do mostly film and graphics but still go back to comic book and sequentials every now again to keep up the skills for story boarding etc.

I as said above totally recommend classical art classes as I took them in my foundation year and apply what I learned from those lessons on a day to day basis now.

No art formal art education for me.
Too busy having to work and pay bills!

Although I've worn down thousands of Prismacolor pencils over the years!
And lately a few tablet nibs!
