Thank you all for the advice. Unfortunately my future spouse is an artist as well, so the likely-hood of her going to law school probably won't happen. Plus I think she would kill me if I stayed at home and painted all day while she works with the scum that lawyers have to deal with.
I have been analyzing my situation defining my goals, etc..., and it seems that the only way to get what I want out of my art career is to do what I have always been afraid of. Namely, I have to step out of my comfort zone and approach complete strangers and sell myself.
I have been told that my work is marketable and that I am a charming and handsome man, but every time the situation has come about to sell myself as an artist or friend, I picture that shy, awkward child I was in school and I tend to retreat back to my comfort zone. So what do I do to overcome this? How do I become an outgoing salesman instead of the calm quiet artist?
