There's often an idea that the artist that does what they want to do out of inspiration and pleasure is more of an "artist" than the one that does it for money.

On to more the more practical things again, whether or not you can make money with art depends entirely on what you do. There are still things that can't be done by machine and craftsman are needed to work on them. "Hand crafted" is also something of an excuse for prestige as well. Not being able to make a living with art doesn't stop someone from doing it either. They would just have to spend less time on it, and use fund from the job that makes money in order to buy supplies and such. All in all, it just mean a little more effort.

I do believe 3D Printing is fast making that untrue.
