I paint. I sold through a gallery for awhile but it just wasn't worth it when I could make ten times more for far less work doing my original job, so now it's back to just for fun. Also I hate painting portraits of rich people but if you don't do that it's really hard to make money. I also hated the mandatory social media removed. Engaging in that ecosystem disgusts me.
