Squirrel, you could illustrate children's books. Just don't write them because they usually aren't accepted by publishers in your often bawdy style!

Wow. Beautiful picture, Squirrel. It captures the innocence and vulnerability of being a child. That's the beauty of children, innocence. It's a gift we should cherish in every person before it's gone.

squirrel - the horses........excellent!!! i love it - the composition, graphic sensibility to shape, n your use of color..................your sketch is lovely, but the painting shows a much stronger sense of individual style - makes me think a bit of franz marc n his boldly colored, sensual animals..............but still havent answered my question - are you a formal arts student at uni - or is this just a private love???

n hehehe...........bawdy???!!! sals referring to your written style here sweetie!!! n she is joking in any case - lol. im sure your writing style for children would be quite a different story than how you write here.

seriously, think of all my posts..............then imagine me talking like that in front of 25 first graders - sh*t, even 8th graders - LMFAO!!! yes my personality is the same no matter what - but my language n manners do adjust to whatever atmosphere im in - just as im sure you do, n everyone else as well. hehehe................still have the pic in my mind of me in front of a class - the way i am here!!! too, too funny!!!

are you seriously interested in writing/illustrating childrens books??? or was it merely part of the conversation here...........


fyi - bawdy: coarsely n humorously indecent. must add this to your cool word thread!!! lol

seriously nut, 99% of us are bawdy here - nothing wrong with that............all good fun!!!

a surrealist artist dad!!! how cool is that.........would looovvveeee to see some of HIS work as well - n he actually makes a living by his art - thats fantastic!!!

so then what are you studying in uni then??? quite interested now..................

pjsal

I WAS kidding about the writing, Squirrel, since your writing will be very different depending on context...
When I saw the horses I immediately thought of a children's book just because it is such an energetic & imaginative composition.
As for your dad, he must be proud that you carry on with artistic ability. My mom was a graphic artist; she made beautiful silkscreens and woodblock prints that she sold to manufacturers in New York. It's fun to think that people used to have curtains and furniture with her designs printed on them! Well, keep up the good work, whether you choose to sell it or not...

i'm studying languages

and my dad's not exactly makin a living of it..lol..he's kind of a landlord now...we're not really in contact...but well..i think he likes it that i draw a bit as well...:)

and sal...wow...must really be cool to know people own stuff with your mum's design on it...great!!! and think of all those wearing your jewlery everywhere...woohoo

well some of my painting are haning in other people's houses....actually i never put up my stuff at home...hm but i've never even considered selling my stuff...as i said..i can't do it like commercially...only when inspiration strikes

but really...thank you guys for encouraging me that much...means a lot!!!

pjsal

Well, Squirrel, if you get a big enough collection of pieces that you don't mind parting with, try showing them at an art or craft show. Try one that doesn't have an expensive entrance fee; that way you can test the waters without worrying about selling a lot at first. Otherwise, just enjoy yourself! I think it's gratifying, though, when others appreciate your work enough to buy it. After a while, customers start looking for you at shows! I've enjoyed seeing the same faces year after year-- and so far, no bad checks!

your work is very good, reminds me of the innocence that only
children can maintain...................thank you for sharing..

ahhh - languages. no wonder you do so well with your english!!! i so love language - as you well know - but sadly, am pathetic at all attempts at other languages :( - i think im beyond grasping a new language at this point in my life. my dad was from sicily, but we never spoke italian because my mom couldnt - i so wish i was taught it as a child.

so many of my students are bilingual - we have quite a large portuegese/american community - a few japanese - n unlikely enough, quite a few recently over from the ukraine. it is so much easier when youre that young.........your mind is like a sponge.

so - most impressed with your artwork n your language abilities...........always a bit jealous of the few friends that know 1 or more languages. my very good friend in finland speaks 5!!!

Would love to see your work, too, Dreamn...
It's cool that your dad paints in surrealism, Squirrel. I love Dali, Magritte, and others. Years ago I went to the Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain. The entire building was designed by Dali, so it looked like something out of Dr. Suess! It was a huge pink & yellow building with domes & arches & niches everywhere. When you walked inside, it was like walking into the wildest dream ever! Statues moved, art that looked abstract was reflected by metal bottles to look like objective realism.
Don't take drugs; enjoy art instead! Art galleries make me more creative with my jewelry, no matter what type of art I'm looking at...
