Currently, I'm an illustrator and designer for a publishing company that creates books and games for kids. However, I'm always selling my private art online, through social media, and at various local events and venues.
That sounds good. You have a work/job, which you enjoy.
Not many people can say that.
By the way, can you mention some books and games, which features your illustration?
I love the "The Summer King Chronicles" by Jess E. Owen.
That is one of my favorite fantasy book series.
I also love the "Heroes of Might and Magic", which is a strategy video game series. The first two parts from the series features hand drawn characters and things.
