What is your art?

[motely36]

I do a lot (or did before I went back to school) of community theatre. I like to do everything: act, direct, build sets, lighting. I think I'm good at what I do, and I enjoy it. I don't get paid for 95% of what I do. I do it for the love of theatre.

What is your art?

The first person who says Garfunkel gets :spank:

[GOPisEvil]

1. Carney.

:yoiks:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Seriously, I'm not an artist.

A little photography, but I don't know enough to practice it as art.

[motely36]

6. I think everyone is an artist

Like I said, I don't get paid. I'm certainly not good enough to be a professional, but I like what I do.

[GOPisEvil]

10. My problem is lack of focus (no pun intended).

It's hard for me to stick to one thing. My brain is all over the map. I think anyone can practice an art and become reasonably proficient. On that I agree.

[motely36]

15. I know what you mean

I would love to draw, write, do photography...just not enough time.

[graywarrior]

3. Mine. Leather burnings.

[motely36]

7. Did you do that?

That is really cool.

[graywarrior]

11. Yep. Each piece takes about 80 hours of stippling.

[motely36]

14. that's certainly dedication

I would have trouble doing anything for 80 hours !

[graywarrior]

17. I put my obsessive compulsive disorder to good use ha ha

[u4ic]

94. That's amazing!

:yourock:

[Heidi]

121. Beautiful . . .

I've wanted to incorporated leather or suede into some of my mixed media painted collage work, but have so many materials that I haven't yet gotten there. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images, graywarrior. Wa-do.

[Lilyhoney]

123. WOW! Awesome! nt

[cleofus1]

4. i like to draw

here's some pen and ink sticky doodles

[motely36]

8. Wow...I really like those

that's pretty impressive.

[cleofus1]

12. this is my latest

computer generated...no pen or ink used...just digital image work courtesy of ms paint...

[Mutley]

5. I write.

Mostly fiction, but also essays and articles. Writing is my major so I'd better be good at it, right?

I'm also an extremely amateur photographer. And when I say amateur, I mean I just started in April, so I'm about as amateur as it gets. :rofl:

[motely36]

9. I wish I had the patience to write

I get frustrated too easily and give up.

[Mutley]

16. If you're interested you should take a few writing classes.

It's amazing how some good teachers can get your creative juices flowing.

[Splatter Phoenix]

78. Just not where I live.

*giggles* :D Show us something, I bet you're good.

[Wetzelbill]

97. Mutley here can handle her business alright, you all should read her stuff

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I draw (though nowhere near as often as I'd like)

And I do a lot of vector illustration, I love that stuff. (http://subvertanddestroy.deviantart.com)

I've also started dabbling in the worlds of painting and photography.

[motely36]

20. I try to dabble in lots of stuff

just not enough time :)

[Dastard Stepchild]

24. woah... that is a link to your work?

Impressive!

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Sure is...

Thank you!

[Dastard Stepchild]

26. No problem...

It's great.
I'll pass the link to some pals that I think will appreciate it.

Sadly, I am not visually artistic. But I can turn a phrase when need be. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Awesome, please do!

And that's cool. :)

[Dastard Stepchild]

28. Sooo....

This is probably difficult to answer in a quick, messageboard type way, but...
How do you go about making that kind of art? I've seen other examples in the past, and I've always been curious. Now that I have such an artist cornered, so to speak, my curiousity is getting the better of me. :)

Do you use photos and then manipulate those?

[ghostsofgiants]

30. I use a photo as the base image...

Use that to trace an outline. Then I add colour and shading and other elements as I see fit.

I use a Wacom Graphire3 graphics tablet and Adobe Illlustrator.

[Dastard Stepchild]

31. I see....

I can picture the process. You get great results from your work.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for humoring me!

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Haha, you're welcome

I've only been doing vector graphics since January actually (I got my graphics tablet for xmas). So I'm still learning really, developing my style and technique, etc. Glad you like my stuff though, always nice to get complimented on my work.

[khashka]

117. That's really good!

And I love deviantart.com You can find some really cool art there...

Khash.

[ghostsofgiants]

118. Thanks

Yeah, DA is a great community. Lots of good art and lots of cool people.

[cleofus1]

18. here's a song i wrote...

[motely36]

19. That's great!

serves them right...family values, my ass. ;)

[no name no slogan]

21. mostly music, some poetry, speechifying

check my sigline for a music link. i've really gotten back into it in the past few months. it's very theraputic to say the least.

[hyphenate]

22. What I like and what I do are two different things

I love television. When I worked in a studio for 8+ years in L.A., my favorite jobs were with the TV group. I am a bit of a TV expert with extensive knowledge of TV, most especially the late 50s, the 60s through the 90s.

As for what I do, I write and photograph. I've been writing poetry since I was in about 3rd grade, with the usual childish innocence in my writing back then. I've written two novels, one as a hobby, and the other which I would like to market and get published some day. The only writing, however, I've done lately has been in long posts on boards like DU, which, at the very least, still keeps me going.

[cleofus1]

23. i shouldn't attempt portraits from photos...

guess who this is supposed to be...

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Looks like leftpeoplefinishfirst...

:shrug:

[cleofus1]

40. yeah

it's certainly not the first time i've posted this particular sketch...not a great likeness...but it is nice drawing...

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Indeed

[northzax]

29. linkletter? (WARNING)

I warned you. but you had to open it, didn't you?

[cleofus1]

33. water color and pen and ink....

[no name no slogan]

52. man, that's amazing

i've always admired people who can do visual arts-- mostly because i suck at them! :P

[Lilyhoney]

124. Very Nice!

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. I can paint, act, and write.. a bit. No muscial talent whatsoever, though

[Bassic]

35. Music

I'm a bass player in a band. Compose some of the riffs and write some of the lyrics.

[edbermac]

36. Photography!

I like to express my inner self by taking photos of hot chicks in bikinis...

[cleofus1]

37. here's another song i wrote....

one of the oldest massage parlors in Anchorage was busted...a rolodex was confiscated...and has never been made public...

AM C D F
There is a house in old spenard
AM C E7
They call the chateau
AM C D F
Where many a poor boy has paid for sex
AM E7 AM
They’re lonely but have lots of dough
AM C D F
The police have busted the building
AM C E7
They have the Rolodex
AM C D F
With the names of the johns in thick black ink
AM E7 AM
We know who paid for sex
AM C D F
Will we find the story told?
AM C E7
Or will they cover up
AM C D F
The names of the men who paid for ho’s
AM E7 AM
A girl’s got to make a buck

(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)

[Akoto]

38. Voiceover

I provide the vocal work for commercials, radio, animation and other projects requiring it. It's both my trade and my love. :)

[Splatter Phoenix]

80. Oh my GOD jealousy.

X_X Besides comic-book-author and librarian, that's my dream job. DREAM JOB I SAY.

Have you heard of Michael Bell?

[LeftHander]

42. Modern Rock

Original modern rock....

[cleofus1]

62. what is a podcast

heard the term many times...but i still don't understand what it means...

[Rising Phoenix]

43. I paint

I'll post some pics soon

[trackfan]

44. Music

My degree is in Music Composition. I play piano.

[cleofus1]

45. here is my first attempt at computer generated art....

i still want to fix the eyes...but the error is part of it's charm...

[Splatter Phoenix]

81. Eee.

*hides* That's scary. But I fully appreciate how difficult it is to draw computer-y alone, I was scannerless for a long time.

^_^ Good job.

[jane_pippin]

46. Writing, graphic design, drawing, photography...

I like doing all of those things but lately I can't seem to finish anything. I lose my inspriation somehow and it fizzles out. Pretty lame.

I might try combining all of those things into a graphic novel. Perhaps it will help.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

47. Photography

http://www.maggister.com/photo.htm

Hasn't been updated in awhile

[cleofus1]

61. very nice photo's

your black and white work is nice...will you post more? you must have a lot more work?

do you do your own developing? do you have a darkroom setup? what kind of camera do you use?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

90. thank you

Yes, I have way more photos that I haven't put up or don't have, given away, etc. I use a Canon AE-1. I developed + printed all the darkroom photos (and the film from which they came) personally. The only darkroom access I've had was my past two years in high school, and I'll have access at college, but I'm hoping to build a darkroom in my house for when I'm not at school.

[cleofus1]

100. have you given thought to large format photography?

the drawbacks are the cost and the bulkiness of the equipment...but your vision seems to call for it.

for more information go to this website...

http://www.largeformatphotography.info/

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

108. Not really...

Large format photography costs a lot, it's even more time consuming, etc. Maybe at some point that'll be the direction I'm going, but right now I'm too impatient for it ;)

[motely36]

48. kick

:kick:

[XemaSab]

49. Jack of all trades

and master of none.

I draw, sing, quilt, write....

The only drawings I have online are bird drawings for the California Bird Records Committee. I drew the kittiwake in my banner. Meh.

[Chemical Bill]

50. I make pottery and play a little guitar.

Actually I kind of alternate. I threw some pot 2 years ago, and will again when I get the itch, but clay removes the calluses on my fingers, so I usually only play guitar. Not that I'm any good, but it's fun. I threw pots all through school, but didn't get a gitbox 'til I was 30.

Bill

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

51. writing, editing film/video

nothing professional yet. Someday hopefully

[Splatter Phoenix]

82. Those dudes...

Who made Saw the movie were fresh out of college, I think...I bet you could do something great with those combined talents. :D Do you screenwrite, or what?

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

91. Working on it

As much as I'd like to achieve success now I felt that the "twist" in Saw wasn't as shocking because it was unjustified by the rest of the film. In order for a "twist" to work for me you have to be able to go back and watch the movie or just think about it afterwards and have the twist make sense. IMHO, Saw didn't achieve this.

[bridgit]

53. i'm in theater as well...

lighting tech, admin, scheduling, script notes, yada-yada :hi:

http://www.sagfoundation.org

[kodi]

54. fiber art, dyeing, tie dyeing, batik, marbling (silk)

a number of really evil DUers have my tie dyes (cat woman, NYY fan, ulysses, scgop is evil, even mike malloy.... and his "very attractive" wife). from 2000 to 2005, i did about 1,500 of them. i taught a class in how to do them in the local high school.... and ran into a guy wearing one at the food lion last week who said his wife bought it for him last year... i sell them at the pet grooming store and sporting goods outlet in town so that is where she must have bought it.

it was pretty funny, i was walking down an aisle at food lion and around the corner came the guy wearing the shirt. i recognized it immediately as one of mine because of the patterns and it had a breast pocket (my signature style).

[Dr Fate]

55. I draw & write my own comics.

My favorite artists are Jack Kirby, Dick Sprang & Dick Ayers.

I've been building on the same character since I was about 15- for 18 years or so.

I really need someone to help me with the inks though-never quite perfected it.

I bang out country songs plus 50s & 60s rock & roll on my gee-tarr from time to time as well.

Mostly I work & politic.

[Splatter Phoenix]

83. Jeaaaaloooous....

A lot of the comics I read are drawn and inked by different people...and then colored by different people as well...Jhonen Vasquez does his own though, and so does Roman Dirge, (I think.) Got any links, I'd love to see some of your stuff.

[Dr Fate]

89. When I get a scanner, I plan to post episodes in the DU Comics Room.

I have yet to "computerize" anything yet- but I'd love to start doing the colors by computer in order to simulate the dot matrix look & avoid hand lettering...I need a Wacom pad I suppose...

If you like old DC & silver age Marvel, then you may like my stuff- I hope to have somthing to present soon enough...

[WCGreen]

126. I thought you got your name from the mysterious Dr. Fate....

Anyway, I was a big huge Kirby fan until Niel Addams came along with Batman and Green Lantern....

[stlsaxman]

56. Music and Words...

Here's a recent lyric...

THEY GOT A JOB

don't talk back to your teevee set
the corporate sponsors are listening
they know who you are from the internet
and offer a city that's glistening
and don't ever doubt for a minute
they know what's good for you
does it make you feel secure
make you feel secure
when Archer Daniels Midland says
we grow enough food to feed the world

never take for granted what they shove in your face
and don't get sick unless you're able to pay
cause the health care industry has congress in it's pocket
you trust a politician who can't pronounce so-cial sec-ur-i-ty

he's got a job and you don't
he'll eat tonight and you won't

we sail around the world in front of teevee sets
seeing all sorts of people living life without regrets
and our brains will burn from things that haven't even happened yet
then we close our eyes.... and we close our minds....

They got a job and we don't
they'll eat tonight and we won't

a battle at the dinner table; daddy is drunk
out of work and hopeless in a desperate funk
momma weeps into her hands wondering what she ever thunk
as the television drones on with it's commercials in the corner

[flvegan]

57. Being obnoxious.

No, really...I have it down to an art.

[ChaoticSilly]

58. Computer generated stuff

Some people may not consider it art, but it's still fun to me. Here's a couple of older ones I've done. They're not quite as detailed as some of my later ones, but I still had fun making them...

Inhibitions


Some Strings Attached

[Splatter Phoenix]

85. That is...

Really really weird, and in a very good way. I like it much. ^_^ Keep this up, they're very pretty...I'd like the topmost one as a poster for my wall. XD

[cleofus1]

95. you must reply to this...

what is your set up and what kind of software do you use? do you need a suite of different programs? spill dude!~

oh yeah, that's some kick ass stuff...

[ChaoticSilly]

106. Thanks, glad you liked them

The main program I use is Povray, an open source raytracer. I'm probably showing my true geek colors by using it because there's no modeler like there is in the so-called pro software like 3DS Max or Lightwave - it's all pretty much source code. There are some free modelers, but I never could quite get the hang of them. I also use Poser (the only non-free software I use) for models of people (or puppets) and the Gimp for things like adding my sig & manipulating some of the textures before rendering. I always freely give out the source code for my pics to anyone who wants (at least the parts I created - I can't legally give out the source code for the puppets in the 2nd pic since they are Poser models, though I can release the code for all the other objects in the pic).

I used to be a regular contestant at the IRTC (the 2nd pic took 3rd place in Dec 2003) which disallows any post work except for resizing or adding a sig, so usually my pics are usually the direct output from the renderer.

As for my computer - it's nothing special, though I did just upgrade from an 1.6 GHz Athlon XP to a 2.4 GHz Athlon 64. B-)

[cleofus1]

59. I play guitar and clarinet....

here's me in the band in 1976...I also do a lot of writing, mostly copy. But sometimes autobiographical essays.


I used to be a Band Geek

I used to be a Band Geek. I'm not ashamed to admit it...In fact I'm proud. It was a hard row to hoe, that I will admit.

I remember in our freshmen year we sucked big time! The band went to a parade and scored like in the 60's...the judges told us to please not come back until we learned to play our instruments! Talk about humiliation!

Later that year during concert season we were practicing and we just couldn't get this one passage right...though we tried and tried. Finally Ms. Briant, our fearless band director, broke down and started crying. She didn't leave the conductors stand, she just sat there tears rolling down her pale cheeks, finally she said softly, "I have given up everything to be here...". She paused and began to regain her composure...she looked up her eyes red, mascara beginning to run...she spoke louder this time, "every day I give you guys everything I have...everything!....and all I ask is that you try your best too...I don't have any life but this band...I don't even have a family anymore...just you...just you!" She then left the podium and walked to her office.

Her outburst was so unexpected and so powerful. Personally I was moved beyond words. I glanced around the room and looked into the eyes of my fellow band mates and realized that the majority of us would probably have marched over the edge off a cliff for her. Maybe a core group of us understood that she wasn't there just to pick up a paycheck....she cared, and not just a little, she cared with all her heart.

That was 1972, by 1976 (our senior year) we were competing and winning..scoring consistently in the 90's and being praised by judges for our musicianship...And every step of the way, every evolution of our craft, every epiphany of musical life was guided by this wonderful lady. Every now and then I still break out the old b flat clarinet and toot out a few tunes. When I play I imagine myself once again, wearing white shoes and a big furry hat. I daydream about whistles piping out in the cold misty morning signaling me. I begin marching...and as the drums beat in syncopated rhythm I bring my clarinet to my mouth in a stylized ceremony and I begin to play.

[WCGreen]

128. I love the Clarinet and wondered why no one ever

tried to electrify it and add it to rock....

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. Cooking and writing.

:ih:

[cleofus1]

67. i'm hungry...

feed me...what's your favorite recipe?

[KitchenWitch]

63. Linkletter

he so dreamy!

[BedRock]

64. Audience

Humm, it would have to be appreciation and curiosity of all art.

I can not act, sing, play an instrument, draw, sculpt, write well...a not talent gal.

BUT I will cry during opera/symphony, eat a painting or sculpture with my eyes, hold my breath at the beauty of nature, and dance with abandon when the music plays.

So my art is being the audience, so to speak.

[cleofus1]

65. well dear

I could not live without you...

[bicentennial_baby]

66. Knitting, stained glass, writing

knitting is my #1 though, because it's the easiest and really satisfying for me...stained glass can be tedious and difficult, although the final result is great. writing, it's the expression of my passion for politics and human rights issues, but at times it's a struggle, being the perfectionist that i am, and given my hatred for drafts :P

[cleofus1]

68. gonna give this thread a kick

an old pencil drawing of mine

[cleofus1]

69. OK maybe you noticed

but i'm an arts fanatic...i love art and music and photography...so i'm gonna give this thread another nudge...



more post it doodles...the dog with the hat is an old cartoon character of mine named Jaime...

[trackfan]

70. I'll keep it going

[cleofus1]

72. nice sketch!

who's the model:evilgrin:

[trackfan]

76. Unfortunately

she was just a picture I saw in the newspaper.

[BeTheChange]

71. I dabble..

I love taking pictures and now that Ive found some good online photo developing I can finally develop them all!



It was a May shower moving onto the South Shore of St. John


A bit after sunrise...

I mostly like taking pictures of things going on in nature or nature itself..

[cleofus1]

105. i mentioned it in another post

but your work seems to call out for large format camera's have you ever looked into it...it's a labor of love but the results can be breathtaking...

[BeTheChange]

113. I didnt see that...

I havent really looked into it.. I try not to take myself too seriously.

Dont go giving me any ideas!

[Splatter Phoenix]

73. The most terrible artist who ever lived. :D

And I prove it. Heh. *shifty look*
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19788305/

[cleofus1]

74. hey is that your stuff

be honest now!

[Splatter Phoenix]

77. Yes.

I can't do anything that isn't cartoony. V_V It keeps me up at night, but I guess it's not too bad...

Still won't get me a job as a comic-book-author though....how I have lusted after that job...

[WCGreen]

129. I have always wanted to be a comic book artist

way back in the 60's, when Jack Kirby left Marvel to come back home to DC.....

And then, I discovered that Sex and Guitars went together a whole lot better than sex and comic book art, at least it did in the 70's, so here I am....

Still sexless in my 40's but I can play a mean blues riff.....

Drawing, not so much anymore....

But my accounting clients think I make the numbers sing and love me around April......

[LynneSin]

75. Vandeley

:D

[WCGreen]

79. Writing, Playing music and making sweet sweet love......

There is an art to everything

[motely36]

84. Yes there is!

That was really the point of my starting this thread.

:)

[BamaGirl]

86. Writing and photography

For a long time (about 4 years) I was only writing political essays, but now I'm writing fiction again.
I also dabble in photography. Mostly I do portraits for friends and friends of friends and occasionally help my dad with a wedding. If the happy couple wants some photojournalism I tag along. I don't do posed work. :P
I don't have much scanned right now. Here's two of my faves. My son a few years ago, and my husband and son when he was home on leave about a year and a half ago.

[leftofthedial]

87. doodles

I'm a professional songwriter, so doodles, pretty much.

[Democracy White]

88. Drawing, like the ones below..

I also do some writing but I haven't gotten into the market yet.

[MrScorpio]

92. My Art

[motely36]

109. dude...I really like these!

:hi:

[Heidi]

125. Most excellent.

This panel reminds me of R Crumb, whose I work lovelovelove. (Thank you for posting these samples, MrS!)

[WCGreen]

130. Nick Fury..........

Great Stuff Mr. Scorpio........

Good action, good detail.....

Essential for a great graphic novel

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

93. I knit, I write, I think, I sing

but most of all my art is laughing :D

[Wetzelbill]

96. Film, Video and writing, plus I karaoke a mean tune or two

Worked on some short films, written, done lighting, been a AD etc.

I directed a music video and produced lots of other video projects.

Coauthored a novel, I'll write anything, short fiction is my forte', I can write poetry, pretty good at screenplays, any type of essay I'm pretty solid at. I'll write just about anything though.

[enigmatic]

98. Musician, writer, broadcaster

I was a working musician in bands for a number of years before I quit because of burn-out; now I just do the DIY thing. I've written since I was a teen and I published 3 books of poetry on small presses in the early 90's, now I ocassionally write the odd short-story or two.

My station is pretty much my main thing now..

[Wetzelbill]

101. you should send me some of your poetry

when you get a chance. I'd like to check it out. Or any of your music too, etc.

[enigmatic]

102. You got it

I've still got some of the poetry around here; I gave away all my published books to friends when I moved. I don't even have copies of them anymore.

[Wetzelbill]

103. jeez, that sounds like me

I gave away all the copies of my book that I had. I don't own a single one right now, lol.

[uhhuh]

99. Singer/Songwriter, Poetry, Some drawing

This is my band:

www.myspace.com/avenueinoceania



It is obviously very political.....

[VOX]

104. Bluesharp. Slide guitar. Writing. Graphic Design. Humor.

I want to get further into these pursuits, and I'm in the process of ordering my life so these become priorities. :bounce:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

107. fiction writing

[Heidi]

110. I paint.

This is a painting I made right after the 2000 US presidential election.


Banana Republic, 2000

[cleofus1]

111. you are a most accomplished artist....

do you have a websight?

112. Why, yes, I do.

But it's down right now getting a badly-needed facelift. (I haven't updated in about two years, so this summer's the summer for major renovations.)

(Thanks for your nice words, my friend. I very much enjoy your sketches. :hug: )

114. Linkletter

Nah, just kidding. I enjoy planting azaleas, sunflowers, peas and other things close together to form a miniature jungle. I've tried many different combinations to see what shapes I could sort of get out of it. I then prune the azaleas to sort of shape it up into something interesting.

Oh, yeah, also I play guitar every now and again. I used to play it every day, but my family gave me a hard time about it, so I sort of stuck them in the closet after 15 years of band after band with poor leadership and no direction. Right band comes along though, I may just tune 'em up and get my aching fingers back in shape. I think arthur is setting in or something.

116. Writing

I love it, I hate it, it drives me nearly insane. It's not a lot of fun, but I can't stop.

I also love to draw but any 2nd grader could to better than me. For a while I quit even trying. But my exwife, an artist, explained to me that it doesn't matter how good you are but how much you love doing it. So I still draw and it's still crap. But that's cool.

Photography. I find it endlessly frustrating. I can see what I want to capture on film in my head. Rarely happens. But that's really just a matter of working to improve my skills.

Khash.
