    Do you have your own unique business venture or do you just want to start up your own business no matter what it is?

    This is a pretty silly statement, maybe there isn't a market out there for your art but there are always people interested in buying art.

    My advice to you would be to look at your hobbies, see if you can sell a product which interests you and your peer group. For example, I'm presuming art is one of your hobbies, so while you might not think people want to buy your paintings, do you find it an easy and pleasant experience to buy art supplies online? Can you do things better or cheaper then existing companies?

    You could easily start this off selling on ebay etc, will mean lower start up costs and should be easier to get off the ground.

    Take time to travel, go to some weird and wonderful places to get a new perspective on business and some ideas.

    There are some websites where you could apply your art skills, possibly like ifreelance or 99designs (if you could design company logos etc.)
