Is anyone on here an artist? Or really into art? Often people think you need to be featured in galleries or magazines to be considered an 'artist', but really I'm asking for anyone who creates art.

What are you into? What do you do? Are you professionally trained? Do you work in the field? Is it a hobby? Etc. Etc.

I've always been a pen and paper type of guy. I'm definitely not the best artist. I live black and white art.

I've done some art for a Facebook page about a year ago. It was a dating nightmare themed page for a friend. Eventually I'll dabble in digital art.

Kiln formed glass artist.

Always enjoyed creating art tried many mediums but working with glass has held my attention.

I have taken many classes in glass art.

For me It’s an escape from technology.

I have had and sold many pieces in art galleries but that is not my main focus, I just like the process of creating the art.

BFA in painting and drawing, about 8 years experience as a graphic designer in the higher ed field

For personal projects, I enjoy photography, making toy or box cameras, making my own paper, college, drawing.


EIGHTEEN years experience, not 8. Oops

And collage**

Boy typos galore

The wife has suggested I should look into getting one. Depending if I survive financially this Christmas, I might get one.

Here's a collage I did some time ago

Honestly, besides drawing, this is my real love. Oh and photography.

Got a Fine Arts and a Graphic Design degrees. I mostly draw digitaly.

In my free times I do some geeky designs for tshirt prints and some adult art I share here.

I'd like to get back in making ceramics, I really enjoyed it at university. A big screenprinting fan too
