How can you make money as an artist these days? I've made a lot of digital paintings and regular paintings? How to stand out?

Draw the dole

its not a new thing Van Gogh couldn't make a living at it its people buddy winner takes all means lots lose and a few take all there are three and a half billion women in the world they all have a butt but Kim Kardashian gets the dollars

A lot that would help is to create a website for yourself and your art. Perhaps business cards as well. Take them by local offices and galleries to offer your art services for lobbys, events, and special occations. Put your skills out there :)

burp!
