Only Julian Schnabel emerged with a second career from the process. I remember from back in the day that Longo did a series of abstract paintings called "the Johnny Paintings" or something like that--they maybe were used in the end credits but were certainly marketed. I don't like Longo's studio work but kind of liked JM. Seeing it recently it's interesting how much the Matrix owes it.
