When you love the craft but can barely live on it

I bring things to life one frame at a time — slow, painstaking work that most people never think about when they watch the finished thing. I love it, but it's undervalued and barely pays, and I'm scraping to make a living at the art I gave everything to learn. Loving the work and surviving on it feel like two different battles.
