"You serious that there's morons out there that still think this way?"

There are very good reasons for keeping digital art away from traditional art at exhibitions etc.  Those people aren't "morons", they're usually artists that can actually use traditional media, unlike the vast majority of digital artists.  Clearly it would be out of place to put a digitally generated piece of work against something that was completely created by a human.

This seperation you speak of will only get stronger, and I'm glad it will, because as technology advances, more and more talentless noobs will actually think they can compete with real traditional artists.  One very important thing you need to remember is this:  You, the digital artist, are but a drop in the ocean compared to the world of the traditional artist.

Look at tutorials on YouTube for learning traditional drawing and compare those to the pityful amount of views a Poser tutorial gets.  Same with the art itself, look at how many views and comments a person doing a traditional drawing will get compared to the pityful amount of comments a Poser artist will get.

It's like Apple users (as a typical example), digital artists seem to live in their own little ecosystem totally oblivious as to what's going on in the word around them.  In general, all the Apple users know is what Apple tells them, and all the Digital Artists know is what the Digital Community tells the.  Apple might be big, Digital Art might be big, but in comparison to the world at large, compared to traditional media, they're actually just a drop in the ocean.

Digital art is still art, but it's not traditional art.  It's perfectly understandable that traditional artists want their hard work seperated form the digital crowd at exhibitions etc.  This will never change, and nor should it.  If I were a triditional artist and my work was exhibited among a bunch of digital works, I'd be absolutely furious.

The only "moron" would be the person who had stuck traditional art among the digital stuff.
