Where are all the artists?

oh and perhaps i should look at this absinthe thread...

(i'm trying to get my 50 avatar granting posts before TAM, can you tell?)
 
I'm a musician and a needlework artist.

Actually, I find that my skepticism helps me with my needlework. When I'm told that something has to be done a particular way, I say "Why?", look into it, and then usually end up breaking the "rules" and come up with something more creative. :D

Seconded, with an additional request to everyone who's posted to provide a link to their work. My link is being pimped in my signature. :)

There's not much to tell really, I made some music, published it here on the internet - and topped some charts, heh.

Stagnation is a piece that has topped the charts. Despite being a LoFi piece.



But I just made a remix of a Danish song for a contest, which is topping as well right now, I'm at least number one among 50+ remixes the last time I checked, but I can't post that one for legal reasons. Here are three pieces + Stagnation. I included the latter for those who can't watch youtube for some reason.

yes thomas yes!

i think lots of things that are "creative" are being dominated by people with programing/coding skills these days. big ups to that. but it's kinda weird if you think about it!

Yea, we seem to have reached an age where being creative professionally is more or less equal to being able to use a computer - kinda sad, but there we are.

Nowhere actually, but I will soon setup an iTunes page or something, because you're not the first one to ask me that question. Glad you liked it :)
 
Artist here:w2:

I never intended on becoming an artist, in fact if someone told me, 20 years ago that I'd end up a professional artist I would have laughed at them. my background is a degree in biochemistry which I quickly found out was useless unless I was planning on going to graduate school, which I wasn't because I had a massive student loan.

I worked in the field for a couple of years and through the wonders of nepotism ended up working for the government shuffling papers and creating maps.

During one of my government employee chin stroking sessions, calculating just how many more coffee breaks until retirement I decided that I'd better "do something" lest I rot, spending most of my energies justifying my job and covering my ass.

So i came up with an idea, an idea so weird that I won't tell you about it because you'll form a picture in your mind and it will be wrong. Sometimes I threaten to set up a flickr account so I can show people what I do but...it's coming, yea, that's it, it's coming.

I sell exclusively original works, no mechanical reproductions, in a busy outdoor art market and every year, I manage to sell nearly everything I make which eliminates the need for a website. heck i don't even have business cards because I don't want people calling me up and ordering stuff, because then I have to ship it.

I cane to skepticism naturally, after a period of being woo positive. Something in my brain snapped and I began to question the veracity of concepts I wanted to believe in.

I became a skeptic before I became an artist. I also had to become an egomaniac, for professional reasons.:)
 
Well, since no one has posted any of their stuff, here's one of mine.

I also used to be a graphics artist actually, or as long as it goes anyway.. I made this back in days when JREF was about to break in half, and a number of people migrated to elsewhere.. I wanted to make a site based entirely on sarcasm of the paranormal.. Because you know, that's what it usually ends up in anyway.. I also owned skepticsresort.com for a coupla years, but this is what it all estimated to in the end..

And stuff like this..

Also, if you are a 3D artist, or a 2D artist interested in 3D sculpting, this program recently came out and has a very light learning curve. Think ZBrushLite:

I did this little monster in about an hour and a half with just a quick skim of the instruction manual:
