Go to Volkswagen dealers and see if you can become a sales person, sell yourself as being a fan of VW's, maybe bring in a piece of your art, tell them you could get the "working class" buyer?: http://www.tulleyvw.com/PrivacyPolicy or, just do the rounds to the dealerships and see if you could get in their service or parts department as a "gofer".

Why not get a job at the junk yard, take some of your pay in VW parts and being allowed to use their "mail" capabilities free to mail your eBay stuff to customers who buy it :-) Maybe see if you can be paid to make a really big "sculpture" for the front of the junk yard?
