I know we have many creative people here, and I thought it would be fun to start a thread to disply some of our art. I also want to encourage everyone to express their creative side.

I've been teaching myself to draw using the Mark Kistler's drawing in 3-D books for kids, and I'm THRILLED with my results. I've been working with his books since December. Honestly, if I do this, you can too!

This is the canvas I did over the 4th of July weekend

I still want to party at Pat's!!

Of course it counts Pat! That wreath is amazing, and I can't quite tell, is it for a baby shower? That's very clever!

That was my little boy one, this is the little girl one, then I've done one that was pink and blue for twins.

I have a better angle this time, they really are adorable! Well done Pat!

My wife calls me the jack of all trades, master of none.

I remodel my home. I love interior design, and was a carpenter in a former life, so I get into it pretty deeply.

Also, been getting into the world of filmmaking.

I am one of the producers, actor, and scriptwriter. I am also coordinating the sound, music and special effects. It started on a sort of a lark, but we now have a professional composer and a professional CGI team from LA on the job, and it looks pretty good. Currently we are doing post-work on a trailer for the series, but will be filming my script for the first episode in the spring. I hope to be in a bit better shape by then!

17 down, 163 to go.

Oh my goodness! How cool is that!?!?!

When I was 17 my family and I went to Disneyworld and made a StarTrek film while there. It was so much fun!!!!

Good luck to you and everyone involved. That has got to be the most fun thing ever to be doing!

Alright, I am going to attempt to post so work of mine. I have not posted any pictures anywhere on here yet....so here goes!!!!

Beautiful hands. I love them. I did a sketch of hands one time in High School. The picture is 36 x 40 I think. Too big to scan but I will take a pic and post it in the next week.

I also mentioned earlier that I do jewelry making. Here is a sample of my work.

Thank you Penni. I always thought it would be fun to make jewelry. Your creation is beautiful. Do you ever sale your jewelry?

I forgot to mention on my last post that those are all studies, the one with the multiple hands are actually my husband's hand. Here is one more drawing study (the first attachment) and the rest are photographs I took, they are studies as well, except for the last one which is a landscape.

Yes I do sell my jewelry. I also make one of a kind pieces. PM me if interested.

Wow...talent galore around here!

I'm not an artist, but I can share a song for my artwork. If you visit my band's website, "Poor Baker's Dozen", you can listen to some clips of songs I've written for them. Keep up the good work, ya'll!

Very cool SuperDaddy! Oh, how I always wanted to be musically inclined.....never happened, haha. The fact that everyone has different talents is one of the reasons people are so wonderful to get to know. Best of luck with your band!....and ...well...your 'band'.....(couldn't resist).

I decided I'm going to draw out christmas cards this year. Here's the first one (now I just need to buy toner...)

Art?! Did someone say art? I haven't had time to do much art in a while, but I used to do quite a bit. Majord in it for 3 years before switching. Never took many pictures though. I love drawing, dabble in painting (mostly full wall murals), and recently bought some oils to try painting (I've only used acrylics and watercolor, and ink). Occasionally some ceramics or sculpture. I love photography and have a darkroom setup. I own/run a web design business in my "spare" time outside of my regular 8-5 job, and do most of the graphic design for it. I also do interior design consulting, which I do consider an art - it's built so much on color theory and composition.

My online photography album is on my husbnd's webserver, which crashed yesterday. But I did find some pics of older pictures. The candle is one of the first pictures I really spent any time on, I think I was 14 when I drew it. My parents have it in their house. The sunflowers was my first attempt at drawing with oils, also at my parents' house (I don't hang my own art in my house).

I also do quite a bit of Flash design/development, both for work and for my company.

Everyone is so talented! I used to draw Garfield and cartoon characters quite a bit. I need to get back into drawing again!
