These drawing are great. I love the Island Stealer concepts. Maybe you should be sick more often?

Here are my thoughts on being a fulltime artist. You have the talent and ability - what you need is to sell yourself better. Lake Surfer's idea of placing you stuff in galleries and producing product was right on. Unfortunately the world we live in revolves areound money and the best way to make money is by volume. Try joining DevianArt or Cafepress and other similar sites that get get your stuff out there. Produce posters/prints, T-shirts, mousepads - get you stuff out there for people to see/network (I was once told by a VERY popular artist to sell myself like a whore). Or get an artist rep. They can sell you to the bigger corporate sponsors. I work in publishing for my dayjob and you probably see my stuff alot - but you would never know. Your style and creativity are unique and very identifiable. You can definately make it!!
