I'm sure none of you can help me, but I felt it rarely hurts to ask. I am an art major, and becoming an art teacher is my last resort. Becoming a teacher would be moderate money-wise, but it won't make it easy for me to pay my mother's 25,000 dollar debt, and I know I will have to eventually, she's been unemployed for several months now (Since November) and has no intentions on find a job. I think the best answer for me would be working under a small comic book company, comic strips, or other things along these lines. I'm full of ideas, and I've got no way of using them. What should I do? Do any of you know of a location I can submit ideas to. And even if I did submit something, what would I include in my submission? Does anyone have any ideas as to how on earth I can make a living on art to the point where I can pay off my mom's debt?

Umm, I don't know how you could get that much money, but its always a good idea to look for magazines that are asking for comic strips and send a sample off to them.
I would say that you include the picture and a covering letter.
You could also try childrens publishers and see if they need any book illustrations.
The third option is to get an agent, as they can also suggest realistic prices.
Good luck :)
