i like to write and do art... though both are kinda hampered atm with research.

but i like to draw (human figures especially),paint (water, acrylic, oil), use pastels, throw clay, sculpt

i'm working on having a biological illustration of the organisms i work with so that it can be published in the next paper (possibly my thesis!!) we submit about these animals (larvaceans). i'm goin all crazy with lightboards and stippling :D :D

i also have always loved writing. i have some ideas of things i would love to write about... when i'm done with my research... i think i would love to get more into the theoretical science field and just write all these long-winded philosophical theory papers :)

I do art, I've been painting for a couple of years but have started a class this year. I love art in general, visiting galleries etc. I also do crafts, card-making, glass-painting and stuff.

My only musical talent is singing.

I am a VERY good writer and artist.

Is anyone here into opinion articles?

I love to just write about observation.

It's a horrifying thought some nights, but I live for music so I try to fight it.

Or do like the Milli Vanilli guys, put some handsome guy in front, and just play in the back, hehe :P

Brundsisum: thank you for architectural acceptance! I knew I was autistic - I am artistic too. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I like doing various creative things, but am not particularly good at any of them...

I play the guitar and piano, and have a few other musical instruments that I mess around with but can't actually play. I can write well, but don't do it so much any more - I think all those essays at uni put me off writing!

I like painting and drawing, but can't get the finished product to look anything like the idea in my head, so they tend to end up scrunched up and thrown away in frustration. I can do 'cartoony' looking animals and fantasy creatures and things, though. I discovered papier mache a few months ago, and am loving it.

I play drums.

I'm also planning on working more on guitar and bass. And I want to teach myself blues harp. In the future, when I can afford it, I'd like to learn to play saxophone.

I enjoy writing/art but I'm lacking in inspiration lately.

As would I. I have one, but I don't know how to play. I have a clarinet that I'd like to learn too.

I play guitar and some piano. I suppose I'm pretty musically inclined. I'm a pretty poor vocalist though. Not that I don't know how to sing, I've got the techniques down. I've just got a yucky voice.

I play guitar and write with a garage band consisting of myself and a couple close friends.

Persevere!

At the very least you can just call it fusion jazz.

lol.

I've just started writing a new cd.

It's looking like it'll be a whole lot of fun 'cause I'm just going for broke and writing the album I've always wanted to write regardless of outside input.

It's gonna be crazy!

:lol:
