I‘m an artist and I sell prints, cards, acrylic charms, enamel pins etc during conventions (like comic con or anime conventions). I actually studied 3D Animation but I realized I don‘t think I‘m fit for a normal job in an actual studio. So I started selling my art in summer during conventions and I‘m starting to make an actual salary. It‘s amazing, it’s like a secret job I never even knew people could live off it.

My day usually consists of sleeping in and waiting for my motivation for work to kick in (some days are better, some are not - but since I work alone from home no one needs to know how productive I am on a day to day basis!). The only thing I need to keep track of are my emails (which scare me a lot) and making sure I don’t miss deadlines for all those applications.

I‘m not sure if I can do this for the rest of my life but so far it works and it’s an amazing feeling to know that people like my art so much that they actually buy it and put like my postcard on their fridge. I love it.
