So anyone got any artistic talents? I'm more of a ceramics guy so I can't really upload much of my work easily, but I've spent over four years or so messing around in that area so I can create quite a bit. I even used to have some skills in firing and mixing glazes, back when I had access to everything I could ever want.

Nowadays I struggle to find a place and time to go throwing. How about you guys?

I practice several Japanese aesthetic and physical arts, but I am not very good at any of them, so it's just kind of like meditation.

I'm halfway decent with teh photoshop image manipulation tho..

This is something I did for Crow a while back, she asked me to turn this cosmic WoW goat chick into an EQ barbarian chick:

I like photography, but I am definitely an amateur. I'll share my hand done stuff once I get it scanned (Which will be soon) !

WHAT camera do you use Tralina!!??? It takes very very great quality pictures.

Hasbinbad that is awesome! I'm messing with Photoshop and I commend you. What a wonderful job you did!! Takes a lot of time and skills to do that.

HA, thanks for commenting on the camera and not the photgrapher!!!!

Just kidding, but I use a

Canon G11 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=19209)

Its the best camera you can get without upgrading to a big hunky SLR.

Don't knock big chunky cameras omg!

Haha, I actually had a Canon Rebel for a long time, but I was kind of broke and had to sell it. This g11 does almost everything the SLR can, enough to make me happy!

haha sorry :) , You could publish most of those photo's they are so good!
I just wondered because my 30$ dollar camera sucks and everything comes out terrible and blurry no matter what settings.
I like the one with the glass of water best. It's like time stopped! hehe I spoose that is what a picture does. But nothing blurred at all.
A+++ you should become a photographer. paid for something you enjoy doing.

I've thought about it! I'm still considering minoring in it, actually.

Here's 2 other from the set!
In the first one, if you look close enough you can actually see part of my face in the drop :)
