I would say it. You're very talented.

I'm a writer - lots of poetry (yes, published) and stories and a couple of books never finished or barely started. I'm currently doing the NaNoWriMo and working out some of my current issues that way. I've done some metalworking in the past (jewelry) but it's an expensive hobby. I hope to get back into it someday. My family is heavy on the writers and artists (even those that don't make their living that way) and feel most comfortable with creative types.

Another artist in the house. I draw and take photos. In drawing/painting, my word is inspired by art and design from about 1890 to the 1950s. Starting w the pre-Raphaelites, thru Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Art Moderne.

I have little to no interest in modern art, with a few exceptions (Warhol, Rothko). I am also inspired by Japanese woodcuts and Egyptian art.

My favorite artists are Aubrey Beardsley, Klimt, Monet, van Gogh, Lautrec. I also appreciate ad art from the 20th century.

Here's a wee sample. Pls dont reproduce.

I don't know if my image uploaded, but here are some recent ones by me. I took the Canadian prairies as my inspiration.

Those are wonderful, RP! I particularly like the second one. There's something very active and dynamic in the relationships of it.

I've been dabbling in the same version of photoshop for years, and refuse to upgrade the software since I've not substantially upgraded my hardware. I am starting a wedding photography venture (though I don't like to define it as solely wedding photographry, as that chaffs with my notion of being simply a photographer... it's just more socially marketable).... working for dirt cheap and producing art of the photos. I'll spend countless hours working to make simple versions and very surreal versions of the photos. I love it.

and writing fiction ... that's not subversive at all....

I do a lot of furniture making and wood turning, which definitely has a varying degree of artistic . . . ness.

I'd post pics, but I'm too lazy to pull them up right now.
