hi horton - any links to the style of work please?
- algorithm0
yes, musicians and a couple fine artists.

I'd image there are thousands of artists making a living. That might depend on your definition of "art', though.

I do some freelance art on the side, but I can't support myself.
More power to the guys that can.

(Feb 28 06, 09:54)no links worth mentioning - he's a gallery artist ;)
but last month he just had his 3rd show this year, and sold 3 painting (at ~$7000 each) on opening night. that's good money in my books.
they're HUGE pieces. when it comes to gallery art i think size does matter.

horton - wow, that is good money. is he particularly well known?

yeah. my brother in law paints murals in NYC. Amazing. I envy him. his own hours, and does it when he wants....within reason. Hangs out, smokes a fatty, and then hangs out and paints for the dollars.

this vicious bastad can be seen in many shopping malls around the nation billed as "the painter of light"

if you are on the internet asking designers abuot what style you should be painting to be a successful full time 'artist' then you are going to fail. Hopefully.
I mean, nothing personal but that is retarded, you create 'art' because you want to, not because you want to be 'successful'.

this is the lie. I want to be a doctor so I can help people. I want to be a lwayer so I can stand up for the little guy. I want to be a politician because I have a soul and I want to help the nation.
