can you really make a living doing art? i have trouble finding

If money is what you're concerned about, art is not for you. Go be a front-end developer, takes an artful mind and pays well, then do your art on the side.

Of course. People use art in stuff they peddle themselves. If there is demand there will be jobs.

The problem is you won't always do it the way you imagined it when you started on that path. You might end up doing something ,where the art component is just a part of your work. Or doing pr0n. Or making retarded 3D movies on yt. You never know. It's a problem, because it demands that you recognize your current limitations. I can't do complex perspective and composition? My enviroments are poor as shit? Gee, I guess that comic book I always wanted to make will have to wait a decade. Etc.

The good thing about this art/entertainment industry (entertainment is how you should initially approach it, really) stuff is that if you never accept a plateau and always improve (making you somewhat of an exception), go through more books, do more training etc. and never give up you may eventually get semi-rich as your skills become very hard to come by, so the middle class isn't the definitive ceiling, asuming you make it to begin with.

I always wonder why it isn't more artists' goal to just go really hard on working and saving as much money as humanly possible, investing it, and retiring with a self-sufficient income on your investments without needing a salary to make a living.
If you go really hard and have a decent income, and don't waste your cash on frivolous shit, people have retired at 30/40 and lived on their own money generating their income. Then you can do art to supplement your income but not make yourself miserable trying to hold down a job in the industry and make ends meet.
