Question:

Is it tougher to seek a career as an artist or a writer? Asking as narrative artist, so please say why.?

I'm newly relocated so I'm updating my resume' and am divided about my direction. While it is true that I'm afraid of both the publishing industry and the galleries, (maybe afraid is the wrong word) , I'm tired of rejection slips and full stables that are not moving new artists. The reason I'm asking this question is to ponder some opinions. Both directions are negative gross for me at this time, and I better do something, before I'm one more lost soul out wandering in the streets. :-D Yikes!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd say art is tougher.

Books are cheaper, more people buy them in bulk...and you don't have to 'interpret' them to really enjoy them.

However, both are tough as you've got no job if no one wants to buy what you are selling.
