Anonymous asked: ive been a kk fan for about a year now. your videos are uplifting and educational, or at leats thats how i feel after watching them. you actually inspired me to apply as a transfer to art schools, including risd. so my question is: during your time at risd, did you hear of anyone getting in with good art despite poor grades? or are all the students there academically as well as artistically...
