In your very capable, expert opinions...

A very brief convo with DA Member Art2Sacrifice about careers got me thinking a bit today.

I really feel that I'm wasting something that i'm very grateful for.
  
Working at an electronics store doesn't allow me to share what i've been given.  I adore drawing and i'm very thankful for the ability to be able to express myself through art.  Even if it's just drawing from a picture, something in that picture, whether it be a look, an angle, a shadow, or the most random of things clicked with an emotion that i wanted to portray.
Electronics Stores don't let me showcase something i think i can give to world (though i draw at work all the time, lol).
I need an art related job and i'd like to think i've practiced enough that my skill level is almost at a "career" level.
Unfortunately, where i live i pretty much only have one option - tattooing.  Don't get me wrong, i would LOVE to tattoo, but the hours operation with no pay and the availability time here just isn't an option for me.

So, my question is this.  Any ideas, oh awesome people/artists of DA? Where should i start looking for jobs, where should i submit stuff, is there i way i can get publicity in the art world, etc.  Hook me up with some sweet ideas!

I NEED AN ART JOB! Lol.

Brainstorm with me?


You all are the best, i love hearing what you think.

Peace!
