Just been kind of curious~ I know a lot of artist are heavier set people, like myself. Of course I know there are skinnier ones! xD Just, Great pictures usually take anywhere from 2-6 hours sitting down and So a lot of us aren't as active as we should be. I'm changing that now making time for my art, writing and work~ Just wondering if there were if so I'd love to see your work~ :3

Since Some of mine are pretty large I'll just post links~

    Hi there! I'm an Art Director/Print Designer......so that probably doesn't meet your criteria =) Always nice to meet creative people though, and your work is cool. Anime inspiration?

    Some of the color palettes you're using remind me a bit of Audrey Kawasaki. I looooove her. Total girl crush on that lady.

    As a hobbyist-I'm a decorative painter. Furniture, murals, canvas etc. I use acrylic paint. If I have time, I'm thinking about taking water colors painting course.

    Thanks for posting the links. I looked briefly and will go back to view the rest. You do nice work!

    I'm a grassroots artist I guess you could call me.

    Here is my flickr account:

    Click on the images to see them bigger.

    Here is my blog:

    http://janetfish.blogspot.com/

    At the bottom of each page you can click on "older posts" and see more. It's fast to scroll down, so if you go back a few pages you'll see more. You can click on these and see bigger pics too I think.

    As for being too sedentary while making art, yes, that happens to me. But I use art also as a way to control pain when I have it. So, it serves me well! At other times it is so easy to get deep into my right brain and not want to move out of it, and before I know it a lot of time has passed.

    Thanks again for the links.

    I make wall art out of duct tape as a hobby. I have a lot of pieces but here are a few I figured I'd share.

    These are some portraits that I did of my kids when they were little. Though it is my first love, I don't get to do much artwork anymore. I'm a business student now.

    Graphic designer here. So I guess that makes me sort of like an artist who insists on getting paid before creating something. :wink:

    I 'dabble' in art though. Here's as close as I can get...

    Thanks. I like your stuff too. My kids are fascinated with duct tape cause they saw this kid on a PBS promo making all kinds of stuff out of it. I'm going to come back to this thread later so I can show them your artwork.

    That duct tape art is so unique I've never seen anything like it!

    And yes; Heavily inspired by anime, It's really what made me want to draw xD; ~

    Art has always been one of my favourite hobbies. I used to want to turn it into a career, but ended up stumbling into a different creative career instead in between art jobs, so...now I just do it for fun.

    A lot of that stuff is really old...I need to post some new stuff.

    Do any of you have shops on Etsy? My shop is currently taking a backseat to my health and MFP.

    @ Kehnj - thanks! I love it - it's bright and fun, not very messy.
    @ swhitney2 - Awesome! I've made all kinds of things - it's such a fun hobby especially since there really is no limit to what you can make. Super kid-friendly!

    I do, but its mostly artwork to print on charms and bookmarks and the likes. :) And I'm more fond of making jewelry.

    I am on Etsy and DA as thedapperdingo. :) I'm working on my website so I can showcase my artwork and crafts there soon!

    Photographer. Sometimes the taking the photo part can be a good bit of exercise, but the editing is hours of sitting at a desk. I cannot move until I've edited the majority of the pics from a shoot. I get lost. My fav part!!!
