Pressures on the industry mean professionals have to do 'a little bit of everything'
You have to have multiple income streams to make it work as a freelance artist and illustrator in the current economic climate.
That's according to local artist Kim Graziano, also known as Kim Gee Studio.
Originally from New York, she's been living and working on the Island for almost 10 years.
She says due to pressures on the industry - including the rise of AI - you have to do 'a little bit of everything' to be successful as an artist full-time:
