Andrea asked:


I am considering entering colllege as an art major. But I am kinda scared that I wont be able to support myself. I know that art is a very competitive field, and that there are people more talented than I am, and this is scaring me away from my dream. What if I don’t make enough money?

I guess that I’m trying to ask how other art majors have managed to stay afloat:

All you art major graduates, how do you make ends meet? Are you just an amazing artist who lives off commissions? Do you have a second job? What percent of your income comes from your artwork?

Thanks so much for your help!
Please only personal experience suggestions, thanks!

Joop asked:


Basically I’ll be holding one of these in the next few months - this will be my first one, I’m only in first year of university but I want to begin as soon as possible, problem is I’m really unsure as to whether people will want to buy stuff as most students havn’t developed thier style “fully” at this point and I think this may let me down.

Also any advice on first time solos like this wouldn’t go amiss!
