Nobody stops you to be an artist. You can still have a job that is still alive today, AND be an artist in your own free time. As I mentioned, I was a very successful collage artist (NYTimes pick for best book cover, lots of commissions, lots of print sales etc). I decided to leave the surrealness of collage behind because I enjoyed children's illustrations more. Guess what, I don't make a dime with my illustrations. I've spent $15k on art supplies in 5 years and I made $1k back. But that doesn't stop me from painting nearly EVERY DAY. I share my work online, and whoever likes it, likes it. I don't expect sales anymore. Be it because it's not a popular look, or because of AI. It doesn't matter to me, I still paint daily.
