I do not normally complain, but thank goodness this vent thread is here.

Where are the commissions? Where is the cash-flow? Lost my non-art job at the start of the pandemic. Haven’t had a commission in almost two years. Burning through savings, stopped caring how little I have left. I did not want to wage slave for Mr. Shekelstein, nor enter the medical industry as some pawn of some bossy administrator. Family and art is all that remains. I pray that someone finds my art and commissions me.

I want to start a family with my gf and make her into a wife, but my family keeps egging me on to pursue a medical career. While it is prestigious and has a lot of money, I know that its not my vocation in life. Children = money. Medical field = time + stress/trauma and no time for artwork or raising a child properly. Medical profession is also full of normies and sociopaths. Meanwhile, I don’t ever get commissions. I have to push through the art field somehow, despite every obstacle in the path.
