I feel myself getting this addiction. Can you say more about what kind of day jobs use these techniques?
I realise that to achieve good results requires time, and the easiest way to find time is to spend working hours on it, so I'm considering pushing my consultancy in a direction that includes this kind of work---though I'm not actually sure what this is!
- GuiA 9y agoDesign teams at large companies that have a strong design culture, ad agencies, and design studios working on contract work (particularly installations for music events etc) are the kind of day jobs where you can work on these kind of things. It definitely takes some time (and a lot of personal work) to break in in this field though. Like most artistic practices sold to the Market, deadlines are usually tight, pay isn't the highest, and there are more people who would like to make a full time living from it than there is available paid work. Get in a routine (make things with regularity, many artists make something daily), make your work public (post it on Instagram/Twitter/art subreddits/etc.), make it clear that you're available for paid work, and after some time you might make it happen. Good luck!

Advertising is another one, but probably more hit & miss, I think there are only a few people who figure out how to spend much time doing the fun stuff. Another avenue is selling your generative art, but having tried a little bit, breaking into the art market can be pretty tough. Some design work can let you practice generative techniques too.
