Artistic Endeavors Anyone?

[Auggie56]

I have absolutely none, but I thought it would make a good thread to see who here has that talent. I had a retirement job at a sign company and the picture is of one of the jobs I did. So if you want to count this repaint as art, then I guess I have some.



I painted this one two summers ago. Two coats of acrylic paint. Whoever painted it before me did a sloppy job on the details.

I do a little drawing here and there ....and got my buddy Matt Hagan to sign them for me ......He also has this last drawing in his house somewhere >>>.

Not sure if anyone here likes electronic music, house, trance and whatnot as I have been screwing around with electronic music the past 15 years. I have written about 30 songs, but never could get it to a level that sounded professional. I bit the bullet and upgraded my digital audio workstation and did some studio upgrades 2 years ago, and this year I put out an EP of 5 house music songs. Now I am working on a full album based on the book 1984. This was inspired by a show i saw on Axis tv about Rush 2112 album and how they came up with a progressive rock album. So, that made me wonder if I could do the same thing, so started reading the book and with some of my influences from Vangelis, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Rush, I am working on this project now.

Here is my studio.

Don't know why I only choose expensive hobbies! LOL

In my teens, a few times I peed in a circle on the street and the stains lasted until the next rain storm. Sorry, no pictures.

I play around with wood working. This is a shadow box I am making for a friends retirement gift. Big time fishing guy. Still have some more things to get done. Have to finnish assembling the door and get the glass for it, stain, hinges, make a handel and a few odds and ends to wrap up. Just trying to decide if I'm going to use an oil rub or stain and poly. This was made out of old reclaimed wood (oak) concrete forms I picked up.

Edit: after cleaning all the old concrete crap off getting the wood back to "like new". I took a hand held wire wheel and ran it very carfully across all the pieces again to give it the old barn wood look. Hence the edges and surfaces looking ruff.

I painted this for our haunted house. White house paint on flat black plywood.

A few years back I did a lot of these caricature hot rods for people and friends.

I have made a few things over the years, pen and ink and pencil.

Not really a circle, but ok.

I made an ashtray in 2nd grade, that's probably the last artsy fartsy thing I've done.
Although I do follow the pottery class here.

I use to do a bunch of wood working/cabinet making stuff
coffee & end tables, bars, stools, shelves, decks,
a shitload of redwood picnic tables & deck chairs
clocks out of redwood burls or rounds, dart boards/cabinets
a couple benches from a few carvings out of logs, landscaping stuff
{sorry no good photos, I was never really a photo guy, until a couple years ago
now I don't do any of that artistic type stuff, just stuff like working on my car}

I think cars are a form of artwork/creative talent
now I waste all my free time on here or my car/truck

clock

putter & Golf club rack, the mirror frame above it

Landscaping walls & deck

Table & Truck {notice the Summit box, it's full of tubing parts, for headers for the car}

that pretty much all the stuff I have photographed or still own

Last thing I drew was a rendering of my car.

When building our home I took a liking to building with natural stones found on the property then woodworking. I'm pretty well burned out on all of it now lol.

Kids toy boxes, tried to put cool plaque on them too.

Then some of the things I built or took the liberty of making unique in the house. Ignore the lack of a backsplash.... still waiting on them to bring it and finish the countertops.

Some stone work.

Love the table.

 

[PlagueOfBadgers]

I like the bumpout on the counter. What a great idea to save counter space while still having room for those other things.

Also like all of the exposed wood and stone work.

That is awesome work, you are a truly talented man...

I started making this pool table in 1969. A few things came up in my life that got in the way of progress. Finished it 6 or so years ago.
