Do you paint? Do you sculpt? Sketch? Animate? I wanna hear about it!
If you have a passion for art, feel free to post some of your own work, or somebody else's if you feel it's really good.

I just finished a v-day painting for my boyfriend, seen here. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/sberman86/AngelforAlex.jpg)

I just finished a v-day painting for my boyfriend, seen here. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/sberman86/AngelforAlex.jpg)I like to dabble in art... in high school I liked sculpting (both soapstone and clay, but I never got the hang of the pottery wheel!), and in college I pursued drawing and photography classes (and a printmaking course as well).

I haven't really done anything seriously in awhile - I miss it! A couple years ago I did a self-portrait (using oil bars) for my boyfriend, but something tells me it's not appropriate for this forum! (It's not lewd, but also not G-rated.)

I have images of some of my drawings and photography, maybe I'll dig them up!

I write. Does that count?

I do japanese calligraphy and copperplate calligraphy.

I like to draw in my sparetime. Id be willing to show my pictures online, but i dont have a scanner or anything...

As to the artistic I am unskilled, unless appreciation and admiration is a skill.

Sketches, paintings, photos, comics....online comics and msn messenger 'art' :p
http://hodgelett.com/comics.htm <- are my well...webcomics

I came up with a brilliant idea to paint holy pictures using feces as the medium and get a grant from the NEA, but somone else beat me to it.

Does that count?

I sketch, do cross-stitch and needlepoint, make beaded jewelry, write, and am a photographer.

I write. Does that count?
Of course writing counts. "Arts" encompasses music, literature, and even Keruvalia's feces-paintings in my books.

Here's a photo project I did, displayed at a student exhibition (I apologize for the glare in the photo!):

http://www.geocities.com/ladykat681/randomimages/NationStates/gestalt.jpgI like alot! I've always enjoyed photography, but have never had access to a dark room.

...Here are some pics of my own paintings. Some are from highschool art classes, as such they're not as well done.

I really like the palm tree one - it's very eerie looking, it's amazing how you were able to add depth and interest to such a (usually) clichéed sort of image!!

P.S. you might want to shrink the image a bit, though, before the mods get mad!

It's been a few years, so, eh. Judge kindly. Or not. Whatevah.

Admittedly I'm all about the clichés. I enjoy landscapes and horsies and other such pretty things... As for the images, i'll make them links in a second.

Very well done! I dabble in art, but have not honed my skills very well yet. I'd post a little of one of my friend's art, some of which I find amazing, but I forgot how to access it. :(

Passive Cookies, your art is expectional as well!

I'm a bit of an artist -- http://daria319.deviantart.com

I'll shamelessly bump this thread... All the pics posted so far were quite enjoyable to see. Perhaps we can get more artistic contributions!

Um ... does "bedroom artistry" count? :D

Nice painting, by the way! :)

I suppose that would go under the category of "performance art". You'd have a hell of a time trying to post examples though!

Thank you, by the way.

I really like your painting. Nice use of chiaruscuro.

I'm a web designer/Flash animation artist for pay, but paint for fun.
I write nonfiction and fiction as well.

Neat. I actually aspire to be a web designer or graphic design artist of some sort (I'm still in school at the moment). The painting I do is also just for fun.

Yes it is!

Dude ... it says quite clearly that that guy was *born* without arms and legs and you've maintained that you lost yours when a Vietnamese hooker bit them off of you in 1973.

It also says he's 27 years old, and you claim to have been in Vietnam as early as 1964.

Too many holes. For someone who claims to be a PI, you sure aren't very good at pretending to be something.

Mixed media: usually water media (primarily water color and acrylic, sometimes, gouache, water-soluble crayons, and water-soluble pastels), collage, and found objects. Occasionally I'll add oil sticks, egg tempra, pencil, charcoal, or who knows what's on hand. Usually neo-abstract-expressionistic. I did have some stuff online, but my page died, plus I haven't been so activel of late.
I have been doing some experiments with electronically manipulated digital photos that I might put up...

(ok is not great but I'm only 17.)
*scuttles off*

*shamelessly bumps so that this thread is easier to find later today*

I've really enjoyed looking at everyone's art! And this may inspire me to take something up again!

:)

Nah, that rules! :D

(My "art" is terrible. I sketch sometimes...)

heh, I'm an artist!

But on a slightly more serious note... the drawings I made in my thread are about all I have the patience to do most of the time. I have made a few doga renders, but that's just like... lego more than actual 100% original creation.
Anyway, this is what things look like when I put my mind to it:

big red destroyer, large pic (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/Guo2/WrathBlossomdestroyer.jpg)

a robot-spider thingy. (http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload4/doc_ock_slightly_lower_res.JPG)


For my usual stuff, however, just check the thread in my sig.

So... I used this thread as an advertisment for a thread I'm taking a break from. Is that low? possibly. But who cares?

I sketch, paint and spray paint stuff. Id show you some pictures but I cant be arsed at the minute. maybe later

hay does doctoring photos to make them funny count. geuss not, but what about my awesome music skills that is an art. If I remember correctly.

I am an art student, so yeah you could say I have a passion for it! My art is here (http://swimmingpool.deviantart.com/gallery/).

You can see my art site anytime, as the link to it is in my signature.

Argh, stupid scanner!

You are pretty good at pretending to be a muslim.

What? Did you not know that Wadd routinely claims to be a Vietnam vet, yet is a total fraud? Dismiss everything he says on the matter.

I draw only when I'm bored. Unfortunately I have a very low boredom threshold, so I'm easily bored in lectures.
It's interesting to look through my notes, especially for my Post-grad Diploma. By the 2nd week there's little doodles in the corners. As the weeks wore on the doodles got bigger and the notes got smaller. Until one week all I wrote was the date, then drew more and more bizarre pictures.
It was annoying cause we couldn't pass unless we had 90% attendance.
I prefer the courses where they don't care whether you're there or not. One Statistics paper I did, I went twice for the whole year. First time I fell asleep, 2nd time I wrote a short story about a man talking to his psychiatrist. I did consider keep going and write a story each 2 hour lecture and then publish them under the title "Statistics 61.201" but thought against it.
I still got a B+, which made me think maybe I should have gone more often.

Anyhow, here's a blogsite of a good friend of mine who's an incredibly talented person - an artist and also a musician to boot. But into experimental stuff, so it ranges from beautiful pieces of work to screaming noise - sometimes in the same piece of work.

Yes, I know, but it's fun to point out stuff like that to him. It helps him hone his skills.

Ah yes ... the "Touched by a Mohel" syndrome.

I've tried and tried and tried to do that, but for some reason I could never quite get anything good to come out of things. My Photoshop skills are unequalled by mere mortals, but getting them to dance around is a skill I sadly lack.

nice.

only 3d work enjoy

The pictures posted so far are really good, some are amazing. It's really cool that there are so many talented people out there :) Keep it up!
I don't think I could call myself an "artist", I mostly make jewellery (which probably doesn't count) and write, although when my room was white I painted pictures on the walls, and I sketch occasionally.

Its quite easy.

Its quite easy.

So people tell me. I've goofed around with all manner of animation software, but could never quite get all the little timing things down right.

Its a matter of skill. I being the cyber pimp I am find it easy to make movies, and do cool shit like music and shape tweens. Ill see if I could upload one of mine onto the forum.
Shit it doesn't work. Hmm lemme check something else

Nope no success. perhaps by email my friend perhaps by email

Music, no problem (I teach music), manipulate drawings/pictures, no problem ... slap it all into animation software, problem.

I like drawing (particularly fantasy things...dragons and the like) but I'm not very good at it:( I am, however, pretty darn good when it comes to music:D I'll try and get some of my compositions up online at some point soon.

I haven't shown anything, so... some digital photography:

Interesting. I rather like them.
What exactly is the fourth one, though?

Thanks, I usually spend photo time on boring product shots for the web , so I enjoyed these.
The fourth one is a boquet of roses in a bonfire. Thought it was valid for the holiday. :D

Glad to see others share my passion for artwork! Special thanks to Eichen for the web design info, it was quite helpful and I really enjoyed looking through your portfolio.

...I also dabble in photo editing, my latest seriest of digital images can be seen here, (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/sberman86/BigEye.jpg) here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/sberman86/BigLunarEye.jpg) and here!

Thanks. :) I carved the pumpkin, took the picture (there was a flashlight behind it to make the vegetable stand out) desaturated it and added grain to get that effect. :)

The flower series you did was very interesting.

cool internet prog.
Did this:

I do some drawing, mostly limited to doodling in my notebooks and such when I ought to be paying attention.

My main passion is writing though, and I'd say this is a pretty good hobby for that.

You guys should feel honored, you inspired me to pick up a pencil again to draw!

Here's a *rough* sketch of one of the NS player pics... this was randomly chosen, not someone I've chatted with on the forums or anything (in fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen him post!).

Bonus points if you can guess who it is!

http://www.geocities.com/ladykat681/randomimages/NationStates/nsportraits/guitarguy.jpg
EDIT: hmm... the reason I've never seen him post is because it looks like he's no longer on NS. But, he's listed on the NS player pics!

Bonus points if you can guess who it is!
Is it Akilliam?

Is it Akilliam?
Indeed it is! :D

I'm into the musical arts.... but I suck at drawing.

Indeed it is! :D
I am psychic.
or maybe I just clicked a bunch of links on the pic thread...

bump!

Me, I don't have an artistic bone in my body; but my wife runs a science art agency, which does some cool stuff.

I'm an art major in college, but unfortunately, have no real photos of my physical artworks (paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc.).

I do have some of my photography featured here (http://www.crustytapioca.com/bookcrossing/photography/toxicepiphany/) , though.

I've done a painting or two. It is just a hobby, but I am getting increasingly good at it. Impressionism is turning into my specialty, though I wish every painting was abstract impressionalism :).

More NS inspiration!

(yeah, I'm totally out of practice - although I insist that my scanner takes away some of the details in these sketches!)

I miss this thread. So I'm bumping it.

Do you paint? Do you sculpt? Sketch? Animate? I wanna hear about it!

If you count poetry, I'm an artist. If you count paintings, I've completed 1 and 1/2(a work in progress). I don't really think of myself as qualifying for that term.
