Illustration is what used tah be called Commercial Art. As long as you aren't doing something against your moral code... It'ssnobby NY artsy types that worry about sell outs an' such. Total BS because the market dictates what you produce as a concept/hoity toity artist (if you wanna make a living) just as much as it does an illustration/lo brow's gallery work. Let's not forget that Michelangelo, etc did most of their work as commisions for the church. These guys weren't necessarily the most religous men either.
