Magic, Balloons, Art and Writing

For years, us artists have been starving and waiting for appreciation and money, which usually only comes after our untimely death from malnurishment and misunderstanding. But I think I found a way for us painters to make cash!

I have been studying airbrushing lately because its cool, and also because it seems that this is an art form people are willing to spend money on. Who buys portraits of their family or potted plants? Not many. There are a few artists out there who seem to be able to make a living at it, but there are MANY more artists who are great painters who can't get a dime.

There are a TON of people out there that spend a TON of money on their cars, motorcycles, helmets and trailers that LOVE great art. It seems to be one thing that can get an artist paid. Even airbrushing on t-shirts has been a huge deal the past two decades. There are some artists who even make a living at this sort of thing without any other source of income.

Are you an artist who makes good money at it? Let's share ideas . . . talk about airbrushing or ANY form of art that gets you paid.

Don't be too proud to turn down a paycheck because it's not "your kind of art", instead realized your art is worth money and you deserve to be COMMISIONED to design a piece for your customer. That is what MOST professional artists do . . .
