To support my painting practice I do digital illustrations (and I have been for many years) but I have never had this much trouble finding work. Not sure if this is an industry wide thing or just a me thing.

Since I started painting and posting that more prominently I assume people just think that’s how I make all my money and I left illustration. While the reality is that without my clients I wouldn’t be able to paint at all.

I think we should get rid of the shame around having another job next to an art career (and I’m very very lucky mine has been in an art adjacent industry) but I suffer from this shame myself aswel.
