Great post. What you say makes a lot of sense. I started blogging my surreal science artwork almost 4 years ago, and every client I've had has found me through the artwork I put up under a Creative Commons Licence - and then asked me for licensing or a custom piece of art.
I put a lot on the blog for free, and it's gotten me invited to speaking engagements, as well as illustration commissions.
Is it enough to live off of? No, not yet. But it's more rewarding than the years I spent toiling away unnoticed.
