Monetise My Passion

3 replies

Hi people,

I’ve watched a couple of videos recently on finding your passion and doing what you love. I remember as a child I used to love drawing buildings and designing the buildings in great detail. After 16 years of age, I stopped doing this.

I’m now 38 and I’ve never really known what I’ve wanted to do. I’ve decided to return loving what I did as a child - drawing beautiful buildings. I would like to create town centres with rows of beautiful buildings, showing different styles covering different eras.

I have a degree in Ancient History, but I know I can’t return to university full-time to complete a degree but I am prepared to spend all my spare time mastering this passion of mine and turn myself into a master.

My question is this - how can I monetise this? How can I draw beautiful town centres and make money from it? I would like to be able to influence how town centres are designed today - the post-modern garbage we see today depressed me; compared to the older buildings that had intricate detail and roots in classical architecture. People love to see these kinds of buildings that display beauty.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Lee.

Would you consider sculpture? www.iknowjoshuasmith.com/ This guy makes amazing miniature sculptures of buildings and of other street furniture.

So you want to an architect or town planner. You can only do that by going back and becoming RIBA or RTPI. Anything else is fancy full.

Some of us like some of the modern buildings! 😁
Perhaps look at Dezeen, see if you can think of a way...maybe occasional illustrations?
