I do pretty good drawing stuff that makes me happy to draw and giving it away for free, with a Patreon tip jar. There are better artists than me who are also doing this, there are worse artists than me doing this, and there are artists who work a lot harder than my lazy self doing this. Or artists who work a lot harder than my lazy self grinding out immense amounts of work in the animation/effects/game asset mines, and getting a salary.

Admittedly I am also fifty years old, and got good enough for people to pay me for drawing stuff about twenty five years ago.

The fact that every social media platform likes to hide posts that take people off their sites to places they could give me money hasn’t been making it easier, but I do okay. My audience of people who are enough like me that “stuff I draw to make me happy” fills a lot of otherwise-unfulfilled desires is slowly growing.
