How do I use my bachelor degree in art to find a good job in the L.A. area?

I graduated in 1998 with a Bachelors degree in Art (illustration) and have since then been relegated to customer service positions. I want to find work that: a) does not require me to have a typing speed of 80 wpm, b) does not require me to wear a nametag, c) pays more than minimum wage, and d) allows and encourages me to use my imagination. I used to be a cartoonist in college and would love to be doing something along those lines, but at this point, I just need to be working. I realize this is vague, but I could really use any *substantial* advice anyone has to offer (i.e. responses like, ';Dude, I dunno, you're SOL,'; really don't help).

Thanks in advance,
