M!

*thalia-is-crazy Sep 2, 2010 Professional Filmographer

that's the running joke,
but most of the artists i know can still afford to feed themselves for some reason...

~bittingSticks Aug 18, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Work as a corporate in house Designer, rather be Illustrating however it is my foot-in-the-door way of still being in the art field, besides the work is enjoyable most of the time.

=DavidSerret Aug 17, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Graphic designer and artist currently in a government office that orginizes local elections, and promotes civic and culture among citizens in non-election years, that's when I specialize in comics, drawings and promotional stuff for kids and teens.

~thelemoncookie Aug 17, 2010

Cooking is a form of art right? I cook for a living.

~megachaos Aug 17, 2010 Professional General Artist

i just freelance for extra money. if i could find a regular paying gig for my artwork, then i would.

~common-calluna Aug 17, 2010

Right now most of my money comes from design/illustration work, although I am slowly tipping the scales towards animation. It's all commercial art as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a big fan of rigid categories.

~CBGINK Aug 17, 2010

I'm a graphic design artist. I do mostly logo designs for
independent businesses.
