Peter,

Perhaps you would like to discuss this on conceptualart.org's new list
"fine art versus graphic design"

send mail to lists@conceptualart.org with "subscribe versus" in the body
of the message. 

We're just beginning, but we've always wanted to discuss this matter
further with you. 

BTW, we've switched from trout to sea bass.
