Are there any other artists on here? How do you guys make money, if you do, and have any of you tried Patreon? What was your experience like?
Hi Thefighter23, if you are yourself an artist, I think we would all enjoy seeing some of your work. How about a photo or two ?
I'm an artist of a different kind, sadly. I'm a writer and spoken word artist, but I would happily share some poetry, and there's one or two I've actually written on this site somewhere.
I did a lot of artwork while working in other jobs. I paint and sculpt. It was a good extra money maker. In the past many of the good artists died broke. Today things changed some. If you can make a name for yourself, you can sell just about anything you produce.
There are many art oriented organizations where you can get good advice on most anything related to making a living as an artist. Google them out. But you have to be very disciplined and work at it. I wish you a lot of luck even though it doesn't depend on luck but hard work.
I self-publish my work through Amazon. They have a great profit sharing system, and it makes the whole process really easy.
I do sell my art but not like id like to or enough to be an income. I guess I'm going to have to die first.
Those pieces are outstanding.
thank you @ArthurPhillips
There are several artists groups here....perhaps post in one of them to get a focused audience?
^^^^ This! ....and new ones popping up every day!
Any recommendations? Apologies, but I wasn't aware.
