sal came up with the children's book idea...never even thought of it to be honest...erm...don't think i could...she's prolly right, my style is more...erm....erm...yeah well bawdy...lmao...no you're right we all adjust to our surroundings...but i doubt i'd be good at it..like stuff i write usually ends up quite postmodern..lol..in manner of bridget jones
oh the cool words...yeah..add it!!!
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..................
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!!!
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!
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!!!

i wish i could see some of your work...any chance???? *puppy eyes*

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...

It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

aww..thank you...but i never judge art as being good or bad...everyone has a different style which is unique and beautiful at its own way...and i'm sure yours are really beautiful!! did you ever post any of them?

I kissed a girl yesterday, finaly after 4 months.
Felt good, i was the only one that got a kiss last night, my friends got zero, and they are better looking than me.
Drank an intire bottle of wine, what transforms me into another person, i speak everything that comes to mind.
went to sleep at 4 am and woke up at 11am, i'm pretty tired.
She was cute. I was asking her friend for light, for my ciguar. and she told the dude next to her i was cute, and the guy told me and eventually things happened...

You're one talented person, Squirrel. I did an Art Foundation course and thought about doing an Arts degree at one point, but I envy your draughtsmanship/draughtswomanship I should say really!
By the way....how are you getting on with your work on Language and Gender that you were talking about on another thread?

btw...so, do you paint a bit? have you posted anything around here?

wow! no, didn't know that! well i guess that DID keep him in practice!!
hm...i'm pretty much out of practice too...lol...i just draw whenever it 'comes' to me..and there can be aaages inbetween...but i do notice that when i draw more, it sorta flows easier...maybe i should draw more??
i'd love to see some of you work!! c'mooooooooooon!!!
