I do art for a living and wish I'd learned a proper job. Crap clients, crap money, crap hours. Should have gone into business.

I had to do a lot of furry porn to pay the bills recently. I think I understand prostitutes a little bit better now, haha. But every now and then I get what you'd call "a good gig", which to me is like licking blood. I'll keep on doing this bullshit until I'm able to work on nothing but serious industry jobs. There is always hope!

I took a look at your gallery and I was surprised you had to do furry porn (I hope you were joking, now I'm kinda curious) because you seem very skilled.

Thank you, but yeah. You do what you gotta do to pay the bills. Some people are willing to pay a lot of dough to see their sexual fetishes illustrated

Unfortunately my family pushed me to attend the wrong high school and I've not studied art.. and then, with a useless high school qualification, I had to study at university so now I also have a useless degree :D
So, now that I'm 24 and after two years looking for a job I've not found, I'm going to attend an illustration course (3 years and a diploma) and I seriously hope to find a job related to what I studied.. once in a life =3=

I'm well on my way to doing it.

"Art" is rather broad. Boundless, even. As for me, between the Performing Arts [acting], Music [ghost writing, producing], Fashion Design, Communication Design and Drawing on the side, I have plans on becoming anywhere between Rich and blue-blooded Wealthy. With fame likely being a direct consequence of my future course of actions.

"Art" is the word I like to use to describe myself and what I find worthwhile about life [aside from God himself]. So it makes all the sense in the world that I pursue the facets of art that I've been gifted for and the aspects of art that give me biggest high; the ones that I find most entertaining.

And achieving great success as I follow my dreams - that's killing 2 birds with 1 stone. It's the icing on the cake, if not more.
