Any artists here?

Hey I decided at the last minute to switch from studying art/illustration at university, to doing English literature - as it opens more doors for me. I paint everyday, currenltly using watercolours as I am backpacking and it is easy to carry around.

I also hope to write too - I am planning on breaking into journalism in London when I'm finished my backpacking in Australia - I intend on practising illustration and trying to work on a freelance basis alongside a full time job.

One day I hope to write a novel!

Feel free to add me.

I have started a blog waterculla.tumblr.com which is mostly where I reblog or post interesting or inspirational paintings done by others.

I draw, paint, write novels, and play instruments (guitar and keyboards) in my spare time. I've taken some classes in school for it, but my degrees are science related instead. :flowerforyou:

Right-brained over here!

I grew up being a drawer/painter and was certain I would go to art school and have galleries and sell paintings and change my name to Picasso. Then when I was a teen I found out what lipstick and eyeliner was, and that changed everything. Sketching took a backseat and I started practicing with makeup. Now I am a makeup artist for a popular cosmetics line. I also loved (and still love) to sing, I even got up the courage to help my friend out who is getting his degree in audio recording technology, and sang a few songs for him for school projects. My mom still always tell me I should try out for American Idol (no thanks). For now my only audience is my shower and my steering wheel. When I was 16 I was in an awful car accident that left me in a wheelchair for 4 months. Once I started learning how to walk again I was 98 lbs, rail-thin, anemic, had no muscle and was seriously out of shape. I slowly gained my health back through physical therapy, but I still felt terrible. Me being the creative thinker I am, I was not interested in going to the gym, I wanted to do something different and FUN! My friend and I had joked for a while about pole dancing and always said that we wanted to try a class. I found a studio by my house that teaches classes and was instantly hooked. I was unsure what to expect out of it, but never did I ever realize how beautiful of an artform it could be when done right. I never was a dancer, or even an athletic person in general, always the dumb clumsy girl that can't kick a ball and am always stumbling over my own 2 feet. Fast forward to 2 years later, and 4 years since my accident, I am in the best shape I ever have been in my life, pole dancing opened my eyes to so many different forms of performance art and gave me a passion I never had before, the art of movement. Specifically in aerial arts. I now study and train on aerial silks/tissu, hammock, hoop, pole, and trapeze. I am always looking for new things to inspire me and try something new!

I graduated from an art school and am currently a 3d artist. My goal is to be a video game character artist. I love 2d art as well. And I second people posting pictures of their artwork, or linking to their writing, etc!

Feel free to add me anyone =]

Also an artist! I'm a jack of many trades. Went to school for 3D art (Masters in Visualization [Animation]) and currently working in stained glass while trying to get a job in my field. I do any art I can get my hands on from 3D to traditional to physical mediums like stained glass and jewelry.

Feel free to add me anyone!

I'm a musician.. a flutist I have a B.Mus and I teach and perform

I'm a dancer, photographer, I draw, and I'm learning to paint. I've also been a jewelry designer. Feel free to add me.

Awesome! Do you not do jewelry anymore? Learning to paint is the most exciting thing ever, I hope you find it amazing!

I don't do jewelry any more. I sew. Do you paint?

i don't call myself an artist, but i think the best description i've heard of myself is that "i'm.....creative" (it's the pause between the words that makes me giggle). i paint & draw & burlesque & bad kareoke & act.....
