A Commercial Artist must do the work on a computer because the output is expected to be in a digital format they must do it quick and be able to move onto the next job in the blink of an eye, The "Commercial Artist's" job rarely has much to do with actual Art. Grog's bread and butter is even more elusive, "Animation" is a real niche area and most of it has been farmed out overseas, maybe Grog can touch on just how many Animation jobs are available in the USA now? A Fine Artist can do what ever they want, But if they are making a living from it is a sore point for many.
