How Many Artists are in this Community?

[shawn622]

hey all my pipe smoking brothers and sisters!!! liking this sight and all the warm welcomes and friend requests. loving my new hobbie too.. cant wait till i can afford more pipes and different tobaccos... i dropped close to 200 in my first week:/ so i need to get a grip. lol, or start trading soon. anyway i am an artist. i draw, paint, take photographs, and do tattoos. i also play every instrument known to man but horns in my past ive only really come across other pipe smokers in the gallery hops. so i believe it is something that artists are drawn to. i think its because pipes are actually functioning and beautiful works of art so what does the community think????
Edit: Moved to General Discussion, L.

My art is Tennis.
And being a smart ass.

 

[crpntr1]

I guess if curling is a sport then tennis is art..

I'm a bit of an artist and play a little guitar. I need some inspiration.... had some serious artist-block lately.

 

[spartan]

I'll gladly +1 that Chris.

 

[crpntr1]

I also play every instrument known to man

I mostly play hell, but there's really an art to that too :mrgreen:

Welcome to the league of extraordinary smartasses gentlemen

I did my undergrad in studio art focusing on photography and later metal working.

 

[shawn622]

ahhh the art of curling and tennis:D definitely both art forms. i believe all trades, sports, and.... well... ARTS are all forms of art. im having a bit of writers block in the music department myself burg... and i hate it because i just built this multimedia supercomputer complete with fl studios 10. its a 400$ music app that does everything a real studio can do. so i dropped all this cash and time into this amazing pc, and midi keyboard setup so i would have not only an incredible home entertainment system, but a creative outlet where i could produce my own music from beginning to end and i get writers block. so ive been working on old songs that are 20 years old. fun, but i really want to cross over into different generas. my old stuff is from my band that hasnt played in 8 years... maybe a couple of bowls of fine tobacco will inspire me a little

 

[photoman13]

Do a lot of photography. Decided to get a marketing degree because I figured that would help my art more.

 

[shawn622]

great tjamison i had a full ride for photography and blew it... back then i was worried about party, ans woman. college too the back seat and i just blew it yea photoman.. its easier to do great photos when you can afford the equipment. thanks ya'll for the posts... i love a good thread

 

[shawn622]

lmao chris. ive walked through hell and lived to tell about it.. but thats a completely different thread i really want to play horns... but i have owned a coronet and a sax and i couldnt get neither to make good noise:/

 

[spartan]

I was in honor band in 7th & 8th grade and I rocked some Alto Sax.
But then gave it up because I was a stupid kid. /sigh
I still have the sax though and plan to restore it and find my rightful place as a Sex Sax God. :wink:

 

[shawn622]

sex god :lol:

 

[burg]

Hey Shawn, that set up sounds nice! I need something like that. Thought about getting a Macbook with recording software installed on it. What are your thoughts on something like that?

I'm more of a poet than an artist, although the last couple of years I've been dormant.
Sometimes I made "poem objects" like this:

...

..

...and sometimes I'd make collage stuff like this:

As well as writing regular poetry, I'd write stupid "conceptual poetry", like this:

...and the most fun was "composing" crazy wild funny poems from very bad translations I'd find online,

usually adding my own stuff into a mongrel mix of horrendous language,

like this, (complete with RYO overflow ashtray, which thankfully I've given up for the True Smoke found from a good briar pipe...)

 

[shawn622]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MRLOWERCASE... i love your style friend... humor injected and whitty.... thats just great stuff thanks for sharing :D and burg... i cant figure out how to message or friend request people but send me a message and request me. i have something i want to share with you

I do graphic design. illustration, web design, photography for a living. But the real freedom of creativity for me is in freelancing. Here at work there are guidelines I have to stick to and deadlines that i have to cut short on the design process.

 

[ohin3]

I have always been the creative type. Sketch, draw, paint, sculpt, play a lot of instruments and now, since I don't really have the time it takes to paint and sculpt, I mostly take photos and do digital art. So much more instant gratification in that medium. I keep this thread on the go here for everyone's entertainment and critiquing.
