As a professional alternative art educator, I discovered a talent of teaching knitting socks/hats and carving spoons simultaneously 🤪😂
I paint, water colours and Acrylics...just a hobby.. nothing exceptional
I'm an amateur photographer of nature and the mundane, and abstract artist. I've used my art to create and print scarves although I don't do that anymore. I also make handmade cards and give them away mostly now. I'm at a point with my talents where I don't really know what to do because I've tried everything to leverage it. Disappointed tbh. Not every person with artistic gifts are able to make a living unfortunately. (https://i.imgur.com/A7XCr82.jpg)
Wow! Just wow @AlohaGirl you really know how to capture a moment! Your comments resonates with me because one of my sister’s passion is art, she lives / breaths /& gives back through art & it will be wonderful if she could be making a living through her passion… I strongly believe that social media is the best thing to happen for people to leverage their artistic & creative skills … one of my favorite artists has gained an incredible following through Instagram / tiktok / YouTube & she ships her artwork now all over the world 🌎 / makes money off collaboration (be it the brants of paint 🎨 - utensils - & canvases she uses) as well as from view streams) https://instagram.com/tahliastanton?utm_medium=copy_link (@tahliastanton) & also one of my favorite photographers partnered with one of my favorite phone case brands https://instagram.com/caudabe?utm_medium=copy_link (@caudabe) & this is him https://instagram.com/michaeldelosreyesphotography?utm_medium=copy_link (@michaeldelosreyesphotography)
What I like about Tahlia Stanton is that she got on Instagram, not to monetize her work, but to share her process in making her art with who ever was willing to watch, all it took was for 1 of her artwork to go viral & the rest is history, so now she 100% makes a living doing her passion & purpose in life …. I’m hoping & wishing the very same (& more) for you!!! 🌌
Honestly I don’t even know where to begin, I’m speechless with all of you guys artwork & I’ll be here all day trying to say exactly what it is that I like & enjoy about them …. Very artistic & talented crowd here ☺️
Well I've been very into music my whole life started with guitar and bass and eventually moved over to drums and fell in love started a couple bands I played drums and wrote for which evolved into Hip-hop at some point some how. So I ended becoming a pretty solid emcee and much to my surprise an even better maker of beats these days. I still write lyrics here and there but not so much reciting or recording them. I also create all the digital art/edits and videos for every production I release. Almost a 1 man band these days.
Im very good at urban foraging and know most of the plants landscapers use and which ones are edible.
That’s pretty cool @BlakeKester … who are some of your hip hop influences? When you were describing your instrument / production style, I thought of Timbaland & the Roots right away with a touch of Travis barker but I could be completely wrong 🎶 🎵 🎹 🎧 🎙
@kenzgeez 🔥!!!! I think In another life I had a green thumb ….. I love plant life 🌱 I can’t believe I still haven’t been to the botanical garden 🪴, & I feel at peace when surrounded by nature ⛰ rain 🌧 & bodies of water 🏝 ☺️ Or the night sky 🌌

I'm a writer, mostly of poetry and short pieces of prose.
An example of one of my short stories:

@atmosphere114 *huggggzzzzzzz!!!!!!! I am the biggest introvert here I promise 🙂& although I’m the same online / offline, I definitely feel comfortable expressing myself online & being vulnerable / silly / risk taker … basically an extrovert 😝🤪, thanks for sharing that & I think initials are very cool!!! One of the presents I ever received was an initial of my name & it was both simple (which I love) & really nice 😊
Omg I'm so impressed and tickled by some of the visual arts here! you guys are awesome. I'm a classically trained ballerina and cross genre dance instructor, choreographer, etc, although not so much after last year. I also have a talent for designing functional gardens and permaculture spaces. Also really really good at laying on the beach drinking wine.
I like to dabble in randomness... .
Feels...
.
Self-deprecating wood burning...
Untangling...
Melted waxbased pencil on pre-scorched wood...
A silly little skeeter buddy...
But my real talent is helping disregulated students on the fringes to incorporate a variety of emotion regulation strategies, and executive function tools, to successfully navigate their otherwise challenging environments (like a classroom or cafeteria). 🤗
@quixotic_life I like that melted wax on the pre-scorched wood.
@CharlesThePoet ~ Thanks! I really like that amazing coat you did!!
@quixotic_life
Thank you!
I’ve loved this thread! So much beautiful art. A not-so-hidden talent I have is singing. Here’s a video from nine years ago of me singing one of my favorite songs — and not just because it’s a play on my last name! (I also love frogs and greenery.)
In this performance, I start out a little down, and not very resonant, but it gets better — enjoy the ride!
@nurturingman Ty!! Thank you so much for sharing you’re very talented 🎙 🌌 : )
@nurturingman ~ You (and your live audience) just smack-plastered the biggest smile on my face! You are such a joy and most delightful being!! 🤗
Thanks, @cuddles_ndream . ☺️ I’m glad it had that effect, @quixotic_life ! 😄
I'd say more unknown than hidden, I use to play the drums and am about to buy a set after 30 years.
None of the above. Don't have any of the first two, and the only passion I have is haunting, which I have mentioned before.
Sometimes I fuse glass. I was going for a 3D effect. Tack, not full fuse of the fish pieces, then tack fused onto stacked black and white borders to "frame" it.
I’m a professional belly dancer and I do Kung Fu and Karate 😊
@YourEmbraceMel
Nice!
What style, and what style, and what style?
