Well, I don't know about "artist," but I play bass guitar, used to play French horn and trumpet, and I'm dabbling with the piano now. I'm also an amateur author/poet and I draw (quite awfully) on rare occasions.

I do my best though! I'm a bit of a "jack-of-all-trades" really, "master of none" sort of the thing.

Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell

Im not sure Id call myself an artists but I am creative.

I sing, mostly opera and classical though I love irish and welsh folk music too. I could probably add playing piano to the list if I ever actually practiced! But I can "play". Ive also done theater since I was little.

I write, but my attempts at poetry have been cringe worthy :D

I paint with reasonable skill, I draw, Ive tried sculpting, and I love making fun cakes. Every now and then i get ideas in my head and I make things. Anything from clothing to Christmas ornaments, but I think that's more due to resourcefulness and just figuring it out as I go.



Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

I'm also a pianist! I've been playing for eight years, since I was seven. Next February will make nine years. I actually go to a special high school that focuses on the arts for it. I play classical music almost exclusively; it's how I was trained, and I don't really have much of an ear for contemporary piano music. I also dabble in producing electronic dance music.

I totally forgot about putting poetry down. I write a lot of poetry, it is how I write my feelings down. How I give out what I truly feel to the world.

Ooh, I'd love to see some of your poems and paintings sometime Brenna!

Also, can you sing in Irish?? I LOVE Irish language folk music!! I sing loud and proud in Irish (well, I do that in any language, but especially in Irish, lol)

I'm a painter (mainly landscapes, in acrylic and oil), and a lead guitar player. I've been told I'm a Blues style guitarist, but I like to play other things that aren't nearly bluesy, like Van Halen, Green Day, and Metallica. I generally get requests to play Jimi Hendrix, as I can do certain songs but I'm nowhere near as good as he was.

Ah, well I write, the haiku thread is chocked full of my poems, I used to play clarinet, tenor sax (jazz band), keyboard, drums, I also draw, paint, use chief architect to design houses/interiors, use autocad (I'm certified) to design a wide arrange of items from guns to rail buggies/motorcycles, and auto parts(custom stuff), I also dabble with solid works(another 3d modeling program), I dabble with photography...when you look through history most knights and samurai practiced some form of art to balance out the warrior aspect....the scottish warrior/poets, etc
