I have a number of friends that are full time artists/musicians and they make it by. But that's a bit deceiving because the lions share of their income doesn't come from the art directly but from teaching it in private lessons. It's hard, very hard to earn a living as an artist but you can do it, you just need to supplement your income with teaching or something else. But this article makes some good points about nobody ever calling out the music business for being bastards, just the banks etc.
