be an artist for a living

This would be so much easier if I weren’t so dependent on my full-time income.

This weekend my friend Amy and I are having our second crafternoon. We’re going to make stuff to try and sell on consignment. I think I’m going to sculpt some more of the miniature demons I enjoy creating. She and I have also talked about picking up cheap frames and painting inside them.

The idea of selling my art makes me nervous. What if no one wants to buy it? How do I price it? Am I going to feel empty inside if someone buys something I worked really hard on?

I really want to be an artist for a living (even if I make $0 at it), and so i really want to get better at art by going to an art college. does anyone know anything about what it takes to get into a good art college? My grades arent that great, because i dont really try at school at all, but i’ve got a lot of talent and I ‘m really devoted to art. I’m hoping that my ARTWORK and not my SCHOOLWORK will be important in getting into art school…but i just dont know. I need to know about artschool.

Still waiting to hear from a possible employer who will match my day-job salary, and hire me on as full-time illustrator/writer/graphic designer. Wish me luck. :)
