Well I prolly wont get the frubals as I cant name them all, but I know some of them!
Top row: Paul McCartney? or I dunno, dunno (kinda looks like Tommy Chong, lol... is it another Beatle?), dunno (another Beatle?), John Lennon, dunno.
Bottom row: Alice Cooper, and Jim Morrison.
I dont really know what the Beatles looked like (except Paul and John), so I am kinda clueless as to if those middle two are Ringo and George... I am young after all lol... so forgive me that I do not know who they are. And I am completely lost as to who the girl is. :-/

When I was younger I used to write poetry and some short stories. I can't write poetry any more. It's kinda dried up. But I still write short stories and am working on a novel (about Lucifer). I know that it's a good story, if I can ever finish it.Sunstone said:
I used to draw, sketch a lot. Then I painted, oils and acrylics, watercolors and Asian brush-painting. I have sculpted. My graduate advisor has my "masterpiece" called "WormWatcher" - a microscope that transforms into a pair of hands holding a pair of eyeballs, looking at a pair of worms mating. (Don't ask. It had to do with my thesis project and he loves it.)
Mostly now, I throw pots (which means I make pottery, not destroy it) and bead (make jewelry with gemstone beads), and knit/crochet. I feel like I have less and less energy to make art for the sake of art; only enough to make things that are functional yet aesthetically pleasing. It's sad.
I really am not into performance arts, tho I will happily watch others do it. My favorite art to look at would have to be oil painting, then sculpting. My favorite painters would be: Vermeer and Hopper for the way they capture light and mood. O'Keefe for her sensuality. VanGogh for his passion. Raphael, Ingres, Titian... Rothko, Kandinsky, Picasso... I like the Impressionists but not as much as everybody else seems to. And I'm really not into the ultra modern must-be-explained-to-me-so-I-know-why-the-heck-it's-so-cool stuff. Rauschenberg and Lichtenstein are about as modern as I'm willing to go. My favorite sculpters: Rodin and Michelangelo.

I am uncertain whether it is because I lack the commitment necessary, or whether I am just inherently rubbish at arty type stuff but I have never been good at any such thing.
Its a real pity as well because I would love to be able to do express myself creatively but I find I need structure and order to anything I work with (so Im a mathmatician at heart) and I think the closest I get to being creative is in writing philisophical arguments.

They are really cool, carrdero! :jam: You've used several (if not all) of them as your avatar here, I see.carrdero said:Yes!!!
I enjoy charcoal the most, especially black and white. I enjoy blending and working them with my fingers. I enjoy the dust and I appreciate the textures you can accomplish through this media.
These portraits are all 18"-24" rendered in black and white charcoal. Frubals for the person or persons who can name all of them correctly.
I'd thought all of them except the John Lennon one were photos, at the time lol. I was going to have a go at naming them, but I see lilithu has beat me to it (although I'm not sure she's right about the Jim Croce one, after having just looked at several hundred pics of him). I'd have guessed the rest the same though.

I'm back!
its a south indian classical instrument. yes north and south classical music is VERY different. the southern type is called Carnatic. but both styles share the concept of tala (beat) and raga (melody). but the southern Carnatic has the oldest and most developed tala system.gracie said:
that's the coolest looking instrument i've seen in a while. where does it come from?
sweet.
i also paint in the south indian Thanjavur style. its very flat, and uses gold leaf for decoration.
heres a painting of Sri ganesha i painted a couple months ago.
and another one of Sri Hanuman.
sorry for the bad camera angle. im horrible with that.
i used gold paint and rienstones to create the effect of real gold leaf, jems, and diamonds used in real Thanjavur painting.

lilithu, receives frubals for guessing them all.
niamwich for guessing that "the one that looks like Tommy Chong" (it's funny because Tommy Chong would always be mistaken for Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead) I would also have accepted the answer of "pah" for number 3.

That was actually my first guess but I noticed a musical theme.carrdero said:
Frubals from me.carrdero said:
Jim Croce didn't seem to fit the rest of your tastes but I couldn't figure it out until she said it wasn't him.Once again carrdero, really impressive drawings. And good taste in artists too!
addendum:
btw, I had no trouble recognizing a young Bob Dylan. I always thought he was kinda cute.

I'm sure you all know what I do. Since I post them all the time. But it's only because I trust your opinions. I do drawings, paintings, carvings, calligraphy, etc... My two specialties are comic style drawings, and chinese/japanese brush paintings. You can view them at my website...

I write. Mostly short stories and poetry these days. I still have an itch to learn a musical instrument (or two), which I was unable to scratch in high school, due to a stupid unreasonable rule my mother made while pregnant with my little brother. A rule, I might add, she doesn't remember making. Ah well, one day...

peeb!
I draw and write >>. I did some painting too, but I don't have any supplies handy now. I also do random things like stained glass, beading (which I really want to get into), soapstone carving, and I play violin and piano.
But anyway...I'm trying to bring my writing and drawing together on a novel I hope to publish relatively soon >:d. I finished the first draft (at nearly 90,000 words), and some friends are currently editing it for me. And eventually, I'll get around to illustrating it as well.
