Answer 5

Depends on whether yo want to find a full time job where you can make use of your creativity or not. If yes than just search for one. And if not (or in the meantime of searching) you can work as a freelancer. Depends on what kind of art you do (writing, painting...) just google freelance artist jobs and sign up for various accounts. You may get lucky and make some money or at least expand your portfolio and gain more experience.

Good luck!  

Answer 6

Hi

I think you need to find what sort of creativity you have that is marketable.

Are you a high end graphic designer? An interior designer? A writer? An artist?

I don't know anyone how is 'generally creative' and makes a living from it.

Do you have a strength in a creative outlet that people or companies currently pay money for? If so, how does your work compare to the people currently generating it?

I would say that you need to focus on a strength you have that is marketable.

Ulitimately, art and finance are not the best partners as you may find that you have to compromise your art to provide the commercial solution required.
