Illustrators and graphic designers:
when did you become "aware" that the thing you do was a thing people do?
How old were you? How did it happen?

I was in college before I really understood what an illustrator was—and that I& #39;d always been one, really. Which is baffling to me now—we& #39;re steeped in illustration every day of our lives.
I feel like there was a day, in maybe my second year at university, where I got a pair of Rowdy Roddy Piper sunglasses and suddenly saw all the graphic design I& #39;d been missing.
At age 5 I decided I& #39;d be an artist when I grew up.
Later, I& #39;d tell people I was going to be a "graphic artist," even though I didn& #39;t really know what that meant. It just sounded more serious, like it might chase away the phantom beret I imagined people seeing on my head.
