Sounds to me like you should be majoring in web design/computer science or something in that area.
To me, your most profitable skill (based on what you've told us) sounds to me like web design of some sort. However, you have to realize that it's a pretty saturated market, so you'll have to be really serious about it to be successful and live off of it. Same thing with your art....making a living off your art will also be a tough life (but it's doable if you have the talent and a major drive to succeed).
If I were you, I'd spend my free time developing those skills (web design and art) on your own and get started on your website NOW so that you can be gaining the skills you need during your time in college.
And then, I suggest you take a career aptitude test to figure out what other types of jobs that you'd like and choose one that will at least provide some contentment, but still be able to bring you a sustainable income.
Choosing a career is a balancing act really. At least in the beginning. In the beginning you're going to need something that will put food on the table so that you can develop your skills to do what you truly love. That's why I suggest that people find a major/career that relates to what they love, but may not be the number ONE thing they love, that will bring in a decent income when you graduate. Understand what I mean?
Most of the creative stuff you do you will NOT need a degree in (writing, art, music, etc.) to be successful. Success in those areas depends on how much you develop that creative outlet on your own.
Therefore, it's kind of foolish to waste money getting a college degree in something that you can develop on your own and still be successful at. College degrees should be chosen in an area that will make you money when you graduate and that you can be reasonably conent with should your creative pursuits fail.
