I recently did a one sheet story board (comic book-like) sketch documenting a movie making seminar I attended. I plan on including it in the follow up to three contacts I made that day.

You're a talented guy with a good eye for design so the biz would be a good fit. But you should concentrate on one area because that's what you'll be known for and where your jobs will come from (most if not all through networking and word of mouth). Remember, the average feature film lasts 3-6 months and then you're looking for that next job.
You'll make more as a PD than a storyboard artist, you'll come up with the sketches and designs for the set, not the "play by play" for the director that the SB artist does.
It's a tough business to crack into but if you love to design anything from Fred Flintstone's car to Buck Roger's Space ship to Jack Sparrow's coconut catapult it's the job for you.
