I am an artist, though I work with acrylic and colored pencils, what really pays the bills are custom hand painted and hand dyed Converse, Vans & Toms. I also do graphic design. Some semesters I work part time as an adjunct business professor (what I actually went to school for lol).
I went to school for education, ended up working on gas pumps. best decision of my life...especially now that I have kids of my own. I would've ended up in jail for beating someone else's kid probably.
