Your work is great, highly inventive. There is not one problem with it except for the problem that we all suffer from: being focused on what we love. This is no great problem, all of our work as artists bends the same way. I have the same problem. It's hard to break away from something you can excel at.
I can tell you what I did: I made a list of mainstream services that I could try and make money at such as:
brochures, flyers, catalogs, photo retouching (image editing), book covers, labels, etc. and any advertising or direct mail media. A good start is going through the freebie marketplace section here. If you do something and you think it's good, add it to your portfolio. I've also volunteered for organizations I believe in to do a flyer or brochure.
If it were me, I'd make a portfolio that caters to all media. I also like my work just a bit on the darkside and or or weird, but I find a sincere fascination in people and faces which is why I love portraits so much. But if you can really stretch yourself into many media types and production techniques, you'll be instantly hireable.
