Answer 1

Freelance art is a highly competitive and vulnerable field. But many art colleges open up doors to many internships designing graphics, and doing an assortment of art-related things for commercial companies, and if you're good, they'll snatch you up fast and give you the job.  

Answer 2

wow, you sound like ME talking!  same problem here, almost exactly.  well... good luck to us BOTH

Answer 3

Art therapy is very good.

In the art industry you gotta blag it and be confident your work is the best (not easy).  Get a portfolio started of your best work and take small jobs (weddings, births)  Sports photography is a good earner.

Get a dark room in your house and develop your own stuff, digital is good but there is something about and old camera and film.

Answer 4

well if you really love art as much as you say, then you should definitely go for it. art is great and it is something you can do for the rest of your life.
