Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They're called Art Models or Artist Models!. I don't know about making a career out of it but I'd say you could certainly make some nice residual income from it!. Colleges are always looking for models to pose for classes!. Freelance artisits and photographers may also hire you for practice, commissioned jobs or to test new equipment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can just call yourself an "artist's model" and leave it at that!. If you have an interest in a career, be sure to read the advice on this page:

You can ask them questions, and even send them a picture or two!. They will be happy to help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's called a portrait model!. I'm not sure they have "careers" in that, but it's certainly something that people do on a freelance basis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
