I was once an artist, mainly asian traditional. My media was acrylic on canvas. I am a writer as well. I dropped fine arts in my 20s, but writing continued to live on. I suppose, in the end, my consensus was that writing was my forte over visual arts.

A nonbeliever professional sculpture working in the Arts and entertainment business for over 40 years.

Mostly build sandsculpture, snow playgrounds, multimedia in film, castle like eco houses, museum and themes parks. Displays

Always have been G rated avoiding Politics and Religion. Until the last few years building controversial high bas-relief sculptures.

Sorry if I asked on site so many questions that many people can not answer. Researching and reaching for the stars on many of them.

Thank you for your help, may show some of my work here on line, soon.

I am a spiritual sketch artist but I can't do any masterpieces rn, just rough sketches sorry

pencil and pastel and mostly animal portraits but sometimes I do humans or concrete.

I considered myself an artist when I was young, but I gave it up when I had to go to work and support a family. I never stopped creating things though, mostly with wood. I have done some metal work too.

I'm an atheist artist, but I guess it's ok to respond.

I'm a 3D artist dabbling with 4D. I've recently begun a new phase, I've decided to limit my materials. I juxtapose renewables with nonrecyclables.

The piece I'm currently working on makes use of Okra fiber in paper castings (renewable) and molded plastics from candy bags, etc.(nonrecyclable). I like to play with the evolution of humanity from renewables to nonrecyclables.

Have sculpted, using stuff called "sculpta-mold". Now, mostly draw - using various media . Draw from life, models and animals, and random subjects.
Recently I got turned on to a tablet with a drawing program in it. Essentially all the media in there - you can duplicate any instrument , brush, airbrush, pencil, marker, etc. Great fun !
And you can take photos, put them in the program, and alter them in any way you'd like.

I’d wondered the same thing today, though I’d have said Atheist Artists

Art was about all I did well through youth, but as life came on, it felt as though I’d apply it to everything I could… No specific media, I’d incorporate it into the layout of my orchard, trails, home design and decor. I’ve a couple daughters who can put me to shame in the normal artist's realm … but having taught and inspired them often feels like art as well

But what had sparked my ‘question’ was wondering if there’s something about Artists that ..pulls us out the the social loup..? A willingness or ability to view things in a different perspective, thus our apparent ‘disconnect’ with the masses or group-think. I always felt ‘out of the box’ regarding art, maybe that carries over?

I haven't done a whole lot recently, but I love drawing using charcoal. The high contrast and flexibility of the medium make it great fun to work with.

Post turtles, is my answer to both questions.

Clay and welded steel. I do a bit of printmaking, too.

I have done a little wood carving my subjects most always are animals both real and imaginary with the occasional mythical beast added.
