Yeah I paint/draw/write. Mostly I'd like to be a novelist ( ) currently going to school for art and writing, but as everyone knows, art school's a joke. Who knows what I'll actually end up doing, but I'll definitely continue to write in my spare time. Somehow it seems really worthwhile to me, even if I remain unpublished

I don't make my living off art but I do contract out photoshopping skillz to people who need it occasionally... do some mixing/sound design for a few people, and sell tshirts/posters of digital art 
Would be dope to do more professional art and music, but I'm not relying on it by any means... though at the same time I make sure that i'll always have the time and creative inspiration to keep them chugging along

What sort of novels do you enjoy writing? I feel like when I'm in my forties I'll begin serious writing

it can be fun writing stories in any genre, but as far as novels my one true love is fantasy. I hadn't written anything much for a while, but I've just recently started the first draft of a new one and its flying by ,like I had built up energy from years gone by.

Yeah it's pretty easy, but I guess it's like a lot of things. Like, people spend money going out to eat when they could eat the same stuff at home for cheaper. It's all about luxury. Nd thanks
I have fun making em too usually so it works out

Awesome Would be honored to read one day... Fantasy/Sci fi is definitely my favorite to read/write as well, it's like the stories are already going on in my head day in day out, it's so natural to put it to paper.

everything is an art.
music is my main propriety. i have taken up writing, and poetry, and have been thinking alot about what they mean, i mean, all of the above...and i've painted some things and have done a little bit of creative crafts, one thing mind you, but it was fun, and i plan to do it again; and i also had a stint doing some photography, and have thought about it alot too, but plan on doing something more definite that i've not been doing for lack of a camera or a subject: for now i'm just keeping memories, unlike when i first started.
i plan on working on these things.

a musician is an artist, like a musician is "on" all the time (as they say) they perform, they write too, and they depend on their play act promoting and conjuring music from their soul into sound as the sole livelihood to their personage.

At the moment I don't really write a lot - I write down vague outlines of stories that I would like to pen one day, but I am finding that I still am very much learning how to really put myself in the perspective of so many different kinds of people... For instance I am only now learning and feeling vicariously what it means truly to be an old person, a widow, a man in his 50s who just lost his job, a woman who used to be attractive but has withered, an 18 year old bitch, a slave... Etc etc... I am working on cultivating my powers of observation and empathy so that I may not only understand these people more, but accurately portray the personalities in my writing, in depth, without generic stereotypes. And I think many sci fi and fantasy writers are similar, in that they are full of wonderful ideas for their settings and plots - but they have not quite cultivated the broad understanding of different personality types as to bring their characters alive, deeply, and memorably. That is what sets a great writer apart from their peers, I feel

well said. Yeah the prep work is important, if you start without knowing what you're trying to do it's pretty hard to get anything worthwhile written. And I definitely agree about a lot of flat characters in fanatsy, actually in every genre really, even a lot of so called literary fiction

characters are one thing, prosody & poetry another.
make the story however you like.
i wrote some flash fiction recently, that i'd like to expand on. who knows.
i find that reading alot is helping. the apposite movements of the story factors into making prosody (and poetry, still) not only intriguing but also gives your words more gravity, and thus still your descriptions/dialogues/meanings.

I make Rube Goldbergs:
In order to live off of it I would need about 40k subscribers on youtube or about 600 a month from Patreon patreon.com/donald also, if my catalog got syndicated to be played before or in between shows would be nice, for now, rather than live off of it, I'm just trying to be the best, period.
I have also written several T.V. Cartoon Pilots, and working on my 4th
I play bagpipes and guitar but thats more of a hobby.
I've written one Graphic E Novel and did a weekly comic series I released here.

My issue is I have a huge problem blending art & science. Art is supposed to be function-less by definition. I LOVED drawing class in college, felt I had a natural talent for it; but I showed up to class tripping too many times, it got weird, dropped out. So I get this feeling of being left behind, not being able to put down what I'm picking up... I have one unfinished painting in the post your art thread. I've been wanting to do a comic book/ graphic novel for a few years but the story nor the art ever seem to materialize

I play music somewhat for a living, but I've also made my bills so little that it makes it possible to do that. I usually just play bars and local venues but I've been going on tours lately. I play bass in a couple bands, this year the live hip hop band I'm in went on the warped tour and a month or so before that I was in a backing band playing for 6 different acts. We played blues, rock'n roll, soul, reggae, flamenco, we even had some poets and live (painting) artists it was like a traveling variety show.
-------------------- I'm a newbie, I'm slow and usually stoned, please remember that. With that said I'm excited to be a part of this community!

Not sure if its a defensive mech. (because theyre putting part of themselves on display) or what.
Anyways, ive only met like 2 dozen what id consider 'real' artists in my life ...

I knew I'd get that. lol
All I meant was 'someone who devotes a significant portion of their life doing art.' Not like me, for instance, who sometimes draws, sometimes collages, takes pictures, draws on them, etc, but I wouldn't consider myself a 'real' artist. make sense?
