I'm wondering what are some other projects or jobs that somebody who typically does concept art can accomplish well? This is without their other skills as an artist or person in mind, lets just say they have the basic skills of a concept artist. For example, I know of a few concept artists who do CD covers for albums. Please give me some ideas of some of the jobs out there. Thanks alot.

I do a lot of flyers and such for local dj's and club nights. Theres not always much cash in it (although there can be) but theres always a free night out to be had ;) If you don't know he right peple get out there and network (ie. go clubbing, have a great night, claim it on expenses). :)
Also web graphics and the like are always needed and if you can do it regulaly for a firm it can really help. i'm talking banners and such. quick to whip up and easy-ish to sell with the "your site can be totally unique" line.
Get in with some graphic design firms too. and architects can often do with a quick pen to render up the concepts roughly as it's time consuming and some of them have difficulty making something look 'real' rather than perfect.
i guess it's all down to having a go at anything. and networking. who you know, not what you know ;)
