Who does artwork, and in what media?
Yes, I do pencil drawings myself.Originally posted by Moni I do all with Pencil that's what I think ancient one and gorgeous :)
What kind of subject matter do you prefer?Originally posted by einsteinian77
I've been drawing and painting since I was about 7. My preferred medium has always been charcoal though. I've made a few bucks from some of my work but I don't think I will do it all my life since I'm still young.

I don't get the impression charcoal is an easy medium to handle.
It's very hard to find Science people (mainly students) interested in Arts!
This describes me as well. I've always found both art and science intriguing, but the bulk of the weight has been on the art side.Originally posted by rick1138
I am actually more of an arts person interested in the sciences
What kind of subject matter do you do in your painting and drawing?I work in most physical painting and drawing mediums, and in computer mediums as well,except I have only played with 3d programs similar to Maya. I'm also interested in a-life, though a lot of people don't consider that to be art.
Yes, I think van Gogh was the greatest. Personally, I can't paint and I can't do landscapes, so I am mezmerized by his abilities with those two things.Originally posted by einsteinian77 who are your favorite artists? Mine are van gogh, Escher, and someone you probably haven't heard of

Hence, the name, no doubt.Originally posted by Artman I've done works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and ink, pencil, color pencil, charcoal, etc. even clay sculpture
Way to go! It's difficult to get hooked up with the right people to get paid appropriately for your work.(I made several thousand dollars sculpting clay Bas Relief works with western themes that were turned into molds and copied with a carving machine into wooden panels for executive desks), and computer art, using Corel Draw and Paint Shop Pro.

Portraits of Native Americans are one of my own favorite subjects.
Don't worry. In my mind art is anything that is done artistically.Originally posted by Kerrie
zooby...i hope you are not just referring to art as drawing and painting...my fiance calls me an artisan because i create many different "useful" things that have my own artistic flair such as beadwork, cooking and my newest interest of quilting...quilting can be just like a painting with using vibrant olors of fabric that create an overall picture...to me, art is the human spirit at it's finest, and this is expressed in many different ways...

hypnagogue,
Nice drawings.
You would probably be interested in something called the Voynich manuscipt. It's a mysterious document written in the middle ages in a language that has never been translated. It is full of drawings of unreal plants, astronomical and microscopic images, tiny naked figures, odd plumbing fixtures, etc. The illustrations in it are similar in style to your work.

Interesting, Artman. Thanks for the comments and the link. I've never heard of this work before. Just from the herbal/pharmaceutical pictures in conjunction with the astronomical/astrological pictures, it seems to me that the manuscript may be shamanic in nature.
Just out of curiousity, what in my art reminded you of these illustrations?
