So You Wanna Be a Full-Time Artist?

It's one of those things that sounds so fabulous until you really start thinking about all that would be involved. It's not one of those things you do impulsively; you do it like Jesse Reno did, where you start way ahead of time making the contacts and saving the money you'll need to live on while you get going. Anyway--some things to think about. And talk about--what do you think? I don't think I could ever do it, ever:  I totally suck at marketing and self-promotion. I'd starve, I'm afraid. But other people love it and do it really well.
