Speaking as a musician, let me be real, you definitely want something to supplement the unsteady income.How is art entertainment overrated?
It’s a real job
Is me wanting to be an artist for my job not fulfilling? Is being a musician or author as your main job not fulfilling?
there are ways to make it lucrative, but that usually depends on knowing people and having connections in the right places, not by any virtue of talent or hard workSpeaking as a musician, let me be real, you definitely want something to supplement the unsteady income.
Here's how I do it, the job I have pays for the important stuff, like bills, car payments, etc., and any money I make off of music gets reinvested back into music via instruments, strings, what have you.
You're essentially forced to be frugal when you decide art is going to be your career.
Oh to be born in the 70's where music was a meritocracy.there are ways to make it lucrative, but that usually depends on knowing people and having connections in the right places, not by any virtue of talent or hard work
Facts.career in the arts is certainly a leap of faith, you have no idea if you are going to be discovered. i reckon its best to assume you wont, not to discourage yourself but to help you arrange your priorities.
most people i know who take art commissions do it to help them make money on top of the money they're already making because they want some extra spending money. but most of their customers are going to be friends, and people they've networked with. and for a lot of people that's where it may end, but for other people it may go further, depending on your connections.
its connections that seem to be the key though and thats beyond just art. my sister's gotten a lot of opportunities that someone with her experience as a medical student wouldnt have gotten because of the connections she's made with doctors who want to mentor her
That's definitely a worthwhile goal.Well as an artist I also mean, and this is also a leap of faith, to so concept art and designs for games, if I could ever work with a dev team
fun fact: I'm currently volunteering as a concept artist for a fan project simply because nobody else wants toWell as an artist I also mean, and this is also a leap of faith, to so concept art and designs for games, if I could ever work with a dev team
