Abit of sketching....just for me/fun. Find it hard for the mood and opportunity to meet each other these days though.

I'm nominating this quote for the Best Use of Descriptive Language award. LMAO because I know this feeling from my days working in Assembly.

I do all kinds of art stuff! I work full-time as a video game artist, so I do a lot of Photoshop/Illustrator/etc stuff at work.

All through the Fine Arts program at university I used a lot of acylics and mixed media. Here are a couple of my most recent paintings (PS - they're HUGE!) :

I also recently got into soap-making, so that's a lot of fun. I'm always doing crafts... I like keeping my hands busy!

Those are great!

Wow! There is so much talent on this forum! I guess that makes a lot of sense being that we are all artists!

Ok, I couldn't find the pictures of all the crafts (mostly Christmas stuff) I used to do, but here's a photo of the painting I did when I was pregnant with my daughter (8 years ago.) It was for a painting class and the assignment was to paint a portrait of a tool or appliance.

Here's a little craft I did even before that. I dreamt of leaves painted to look like butterflies and so I did it. The veins in the leaves come out looking like veins in butterfly wings.

I used to do some graphic design and website design too.
