I work in advertising, but try not to make it my life. I love writing, art and design - and focus my time on these when I'm not working or hanging out with my family.
Art communities online are a dime a dozen. But - I do like this one because of the ease of usage (Tumblr, duh) and the work is fairly solid.
The downside? Envy, if you're an artist that has time to do everything but work on your personal projects.
