Such an excellent looking couple.

 

Thank you. That's very sweet.

 

Just started exploring this thread, and seeing the art pieces you folks have made, and thinking about the '3 worst and best decisions' thread, I am sadly reminded of how I burnt the contents of my sketch portfolio a few months after my 1st breakdown when I was 21.

I burnt them because I was very proud of my work, proud of my ability, but my subconscious low self value had the upper hand thus I didn't deserve to be proud of anything, so I burnt them all.

It's been a long time since I've reminisced about these sketches and I haven't drawn since that time, apart from obsessively drawing a floating cube.
I used to draw cars and sci-fi vehicles. Hopeless at portraits or anything natural.
Whe I was a child I used to draw 2D cars, then slowly improved to 3D. Plus in my youth I used to draw windy roads going in and around hills, like a 3d maze, I think inspired by Dr.Suess imagery. They were very theraputic and reminded me of doing a mandala.

I might have a go at creating one of each to post here.

 

This cube?

Spoiler: This one!

That must mean you are... A Chosen. That means the fate of the world is on your shoulders. When the time comes, you'll know what to do.

 

But the time came. And he didn't.

Ah, if only the Chosen knew they were Chosen before the time came, then maybe the rest of us wouldn't be spending the rest of our time cleaning up this mess.

 

I say do it, and post it here. Don't think about it. Just start drawing and then post it. It would be my honor to share a moment like that. How many in this world were never shared?
eta Fire destroys, but life grows from the ash. What life has grown? Time for tell, extinguished. Time for show.. sun's up!

 

Cheers, Some Guy. Was thinking the same thing.
Inspired by the works in this thread and been watching a stack of NFL hilight vids.

I bought 2 different sized sketch books in the village on friday.
Already owned pencils of various hardness and other pencil sketching equipment.
Don't know if I'll be abe to produce anything, but will see what happens, as I'm not the same person I was 30 years ago, preferences and hobbies have changed, though I'm in decade of productivity at the mo.

 

Reference please.

 

It's possible, though I was just mostly being a doughnut.

 

Ah, I see. Good to know.

Not only do I miss humourous responses offline, my kids have a ball expressing stupid things with a straight face, and I end up responding far too long and seriously, with them pissing themselves that I didn't know they were joking...thus I do tend to miss online humour even more. I also live on the far outer edge of society thus I'm not up to date with many aspects of social knowledge.
Though now I'm intrigued to understand the connection that still exist for you to consider your post was funny. But I've also noticed many folks don't share my enthusiasm to understand the joke, for apparently, having to explain it diminishes it's value, or some such thing.

PS. No, you don't have to explain it. I've ranted too long, though I enjoyed the short convo.

 

I finally had a camera, batteries, and a spare moment!
Me sporting my Darkness Into Light T shirt for my 5k charity walk on 11th May this year.

 

Is the frog in the analogy you or the joke, as I'm concerned about what could die?
'Cus I think if you dissect a joke, you're also dissecting the person who created it.

It's also kinda like the opposite of Pythons 'the most deadliest joke skit'.
Plus, I don't wanna be convicted of manslaughter.

 

Found this dude on my deck this morning.

 

As promised, I give you the all famous Homemade Hot Water Bottle Cover.

ETA: It is all nice and orderly, honest. But I didn't put in any kind of support around the sides, so the fabric just sags where there is space.
ETA2: The floral fabric is white with blue flowers, and bits of greenery on, though it does look a kind of yellow. That was probably the curtains, as I had them closed.

 

The expression on my son's face in this pic cracks me up.
Funny captions, and GO....

 

Tis the season for natural beauty,

Spoiler: Kinda large picture...

Spoiler: One more, up close

 

Keep stopping to take pictures on all flowers I see!

 

Done with my mother's birthday card!

 

Writing for a little bit, forgot,

Spoiler: This guy on my leg

He fell asleep. Most likely from the music and comfy jean part he snuggled onto.

 

Took these in the Sierra Nevada, Colombia. They are reminders to stay humble.
