How much do background art cells sell for from shows? There is one I want to see if the person who made it will sell it but dont know what Iwould offer.

My gf has a job and I am living with her but im just a pathetic person trying to make money with art. I've made like $30 off commissions and like $10 off print on demand sites in the last 10 months.

Anyone else stuck betting on art because of life circumstances? I'm 3/4ths through a 3D/Media degree and I'm passable for low-end film/game industry employment but I stopped enjoying it a pretty long time ago and I'm only sticking with it because I can't do anything more physically demanding than sitting at a desk/standing at a till due to severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome + can't keep customer service jobs because nobody likes talking to someone who's tired 24/7 and looks like a corpse. I've been barely scraping by in and out of work for the last 4 years and art's the only thing I've got that could be considered a skill, I legitimately only started my degree because it's a way to keep getting government support without having to take as many jobs that I know I can't keep.
I was actually collecting a disability pension (in Australia) for a while but it turns out that if you tell the government here that you'd like to work or even attempt to do something with your life they put on record that you're capable of working and no amount of medical professionals telling them that you're bedridden most of the time and barely capable of leading anything that could be considered a life without assistance can reverse that. Initially I was banking on art because any job I take will have to be what I put 100% of my waking hours and energy into to have any hope of keeping it and I thought I'd be able to enjoy it because I used to have fun with it but nope, I don't even get that.

Oh yeah also the only real life friends I've had for the last 3 years have been my course instructors and I figure they're only doing it because they're invested in me succeeding or whatever and I had to take a medical break last year because the combination of stress and all the drugs, coffee, energy drinks and caffeine pills that I use just to get through all my coursework apparently caused an ulcer that bored a hole through my stomach lining.
