this is so typically odd... an artist who is so talented, unable to pay the bills with art, has to have a regular job to pay the bills.... David Wright, famous pin up artist, was a driving instructor!
one of the most popular pin-up artists during World War II.
During the war he worked as a driving instructor for the armed forces in Abersoch, Wales, which left him plenty of time to continue his illustration work.
I'm guessing that if he was in the British military in WWII he was either drafted or he volunteered to serve his country, not necessarily because he couldn't pay his bills.
