i have been an artist all my life and when things get hard or i just need extra cash art has always come Thur for me was a tattooist and still am from time to time-yet when i get tired of doing skin i do wood and glass-- it don`t move around alot and it don`t scream out of pain--i carve a rare wood called diamond willow--found close to my home here in Michigan--i etch glass to the point of doing portates---not sure this is what you wanted to hear about in hobbies but this is what i do when not searching for gold
