"Wow (insert your name here) that is a really good drawing darling! It looks just like your kindergarten teacher Ms Nesbit! You have to take that to school and put it up on the board"
Sometime later followed by...
"Your art is really good, you should consider a career as a commercial artist."
And then this one when you got your first job...
"Wow a commericial artist - so you are working in an area you love, that must be so much fun!"
And of course this one...
"You get paid to do that
(pointing at one of your paintings/cartoons/illustrations).
You are so lucky to be able to draw like that. Gee I wish I could do that too."
Well, following is a video of Artist Graeme Biddle a personal friend of mine busy at work (yeah right Graeme you call that work?) who has been doing the "art for money thing" for over 30 years now and has made somewhere between $2- $3 million dollars doing so.
Not bad work if you can get!
Enjoy.

It is true, Graeme Biddle has been doing these caricatures for years now and he only just told me the other day how much money you can earn.
And there doesn't seem to be any short supply of this type of work out there.
He tells me he has a secret supply and he is keeping that to himself for now.
I think I might just have to convince him otherwise. I could do with some more work ; )
