Just have to jump in here... With your talent, there's no way to be broke!! I know nothing about you, but you have a marketable skill for sure. Think outside the box. Check with a printing company, wallpaper manufacturer, carpet maker, billboard advertising co. etc. All these places use graphic artists and they all aren't "profesionally" trained. In fact, you can't teach your talent. It's a gift!! You would be a natural to longarm quilting since the very best ones can "draw anything."
Good luck to you and I hope to hear great things from you.

Everyone thinks that I should just jump into the frying pan and make something of myself with what I can do ASAP or otherwise I'm letting it go to waste. Can't I just be happy making art for my own personal satisfaction and showing others "Hey! Look at what I made!" and "Hey! My idol LOVED my work and wanted to use it for herself (with permission!"? Maybe in the future I'll want to profit from my art. But for now I'm perfectly happy with what I'm doing with it now. I'm only 22 (going on 23) and I got a whole lifetime to figure out what to do with my artistic talents so there's no need to rush in and try and make a mountain of money off it.

Can't agree more with the comcern of making money from your art, but what if someone came in changed a few things made a grip load from your original talent!! Might be worth, at least checking with your local SBA, may have some free recomendationd, lots of retired, knowledgable people out there willing to help. Who knows until you ask!!
Good Luck !!
Good Luck !!

I love that - how wonderful that someone you admire likes your work and she asked you for permission. That is just delicious. WOW! And your stuff is stunning - my nephew who is 14 and loves manga etc said I thought it was only old ladies who do stuff on this site, but that is kewl(Cool). LOL. There goes his chance of getting those waterproof apple headphones he was angling for.
