Eh. It depends on if you want to make art or be an artist. Artists make art. People who make art make art. But if you want to be an Artist you cant really do something else full time and do art on the side. Maybe at the start but eventually you have to be an Artist full time. Otherwise the other thing will take over. To be fair I give people the same advice. Just that the people who want to Artists look at me like I'm insane because nothing I say would stop them from living that life. The people who just want to make some art realize that it's not that bad to get paid well in a career and do art on the side.
