Your favorite artistic medium

[OrganizedKhaos]

If you find yourself bursting with artistic inspiration, what medium do you express your self with?

I love to do broken glass mosaics, and photography.

[drewblood]

do you have any pictures of your mosaics? I'm guessing that's mostly using glue to create something new with the glass?

i have never felt overcome by immense bursts of artistic inspiration ...or if i was then i really didnt recocgnize as such.

photography is definetly the most common 'medium' i use.... but that's usually a spur of the moment type situation, when you see something random and it strikes you as being beautiful.

does sitting contently and relaxed with your thoughts qualify as an artistic medium?

[OrganizedKhaos]

Art is all about inspiration put into an action. Sitting, and soaking up one's surroundings IN MY OPINION, I think this classifies as an artistic expression,
just like dancing.... its just a different posture.

The pics I've taken of my mosaics, dont do the art justice, because the beauty is the way the light reflects off of each piece of glass when its moved, or if someone walks around it...
I LOVE tempered glass!!!!!
I beg people to NOT throw it away if they have something that breaks... I love dishes as well!!!

I take something like a stepping stone, or a rock, and apply newspaper, and pictures, and cover it with glass, then I apply tile grout between the glass, and it makes pictures look like they're torn up, and stuff..
I usually start with a rock or whatever, and I paint on it before I apply all the other stuff.

[TheCosmicSheriff]

I'm closer to autistic than artistic!

That mosaic dose sound cool!

[aXa]

pen and paper. or flesh and blood, if provided.

[OrganizedKhaos]

Thanks kewl... Are you talking about dead animal sculptures or something like tattoos?

[OliX]

Music and, don't laugh now, dance.

As well as scetching random stuff over the paper and making it fit together in a tripy 3d image. Tolook at but nothing special.

[OrganizedKhaos]

I'd prolly like it.
I love dance as well.

i guess i express my artisticness(if thats even a word) through music..i've been writing poetry/song lyrics for about 3 years now..

[a_small_death]

writing and digital art. Also Dj'n. Though had to make music now in such a limited space

[OrganizedKhaos]

I'm a supporter in all the mediums you've described, and if you ever need a listening, or discriminating ear, please lemme know.

You seem to have a certain sensitivity... that would make your expressed art, that much more .... felt by others.
I'd love to hear/read anything you've got.... but if you're not ready to show it, I MORE than understand. THAT STATEMENT GOES TO EVERYONE AS WELL.

well, thank you .... i actually have sorta i guess been publishing them from the start, i guess.. when i first started i would post them on my l'ivejournal and then later when i got a m'yspace i started posting on that as well. so, i have no problem posting them on here if you or anyone else would like me to... its changed quite a bit over time actually.. at first my songs where more just raw emotion and with very little or no organization(which i would say is probably the worst of it), with the exception of some 'just for fun/shits and giggles' types of songs.. then they later became more like a way for me to tell a story and my emotions towards those events.. events either in my past, present or both.. which is quite odd because for a long time i've been some one that is very private. not in the recluse sort of way, but in the way that i dont really express how i feel any other way..im still trying to be a more open person......i feel that i have progressed quite a bit with my writing..the last one i wrote -#63"Branden the Builder" is the longest and in my mind the best i have written...many of my songs are very metaphoric or symbolic..so some things may not really make a lot of sense if you dont personally know what its about..like inside jokes or things like that that people involved would only know..i guess thats the best way i can explain it...so, i guess i'll post my latest song afer this post....

[OrganizedKhaos]

I'm all for it, you post your heart out!!!! Do you want to hear something of mine?

Branden The Builder

I built this house with my own two hands
All by myself
With the help of no one else
I tried to make it a home

A house that later fell apart
Perhaps doomed from the start
Was it built on bad foundation?
Just another failed creation

I built this house with what I had
Not just for myself
No help
Never a home

Just follow me around
A chime, it's a sound
Acquainted
Information acquired
Suggestions, decisions
A question
And so it began

I built this house all by myself
At the time, that was o.k.
Dealt with it day by day
And tried to make it a HOME

As I walk through this house
I remember all the good times
The fun times, the not so fun times
(The crazy times?)
Crazy like a fox with rabies
Or maybe crazy like rat babies

I'm not pointing the finger
I'm not pinning the blame
Merely just stating facts and theories

Maybe it wasn't a good frame
The decorations were about the same
Although, reclusiveness can be quite lame
Walking to the living room
And I pass the remote

Why did you hate the neighbors?
(Before you even knew them)
Why did you hate the neighbors?
(Before you even knew them)
Why did you hate the neighbors?
(Before you even knew them)
Go ahead and crawl beneath the filthy leaves

I sit here in the kitchen
(maybe have some orange juice?)
No, cake and diet soda
And I look inside the closet
There would sit my skeleton filled luggage
Maybe that was a problem
(Gasp, skeletons in your closet?)
I'm not a homicidal maniac, I swear
They were already there

Hey, I've got an idea
(Excuses, excuses)
Hey, I've got an idea
(Excuses, excuses)
Hey, I've got an idea
(Excuses, excuses)
But none for them

It's not that I was jealous
I just don't quite understand
How can you go with one and not the other?
It's not like there's armies of ghosts outside

Confide
(La la la la la)
Confide
(La la la la la)
Confide
(La la la la la)
And still distance

Oh, you're home
I was just tearing up the floor
There's a letter there for you
It's by the door
Now, if you'll excuse me
I've got my hammer now
I'm gonna fix these walls
I'm gonna fix them good
They seem to be the strongest...
The strongest...[2x]
The strongest things of ALL

Get out, get out, get out
(Your bags are packed)
Get out, get out, get out
(Your bags are packed)
Get out, get out, get out
(Your bags are packed)
Get out of my house

Walking out of this house
I pull out my lighter
With a two and a half inch flame
I set this house on fire
I burn this house down
Right down to the ground

As I drive away
Over hills of green
I look forward to a new day
And crash through the gate

Maybe it was me
Maybe I tried to be something I couldn't be
You can call me a quitter
you can call me bitter
I really don't give a fuck
It's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun?

I'm all for it, you post your heart out!!!! Do you want to hear something of mine?

yeah, if your willing to share too. i'd like to read it.

[OrganizedKhaos]

Oh my gosh....(silence).... I loved reading that.
You spoke volumes my dear. I loved every single word.
You put that together masterfully.

[VoldtaEngler]

My artistic medium is writing and playing music. That's all i have a true passion for.

I can do digital art and fun stuff with it..but it's music that keeps my heart beating.

[OrganizedKhaos]

yeah, if your willing to share too. i'd like to read it.

I'll post one of my favorite things I've written, during the hardest time in Florida, as I was trying to align the things in my life again when they'd gone awry ..... spending time with a dear friend... one night the words came to me, exactly how I was feeling.
I'll post them as soon as I can write them down.

[OrganizedKhaos]

....And there it hit me
Out of nowhere...
a sorrow that over took me...
and gripped me with fingers ever increasingly tightening ...
Squeezing and eliminating ANY present JOY I was feeling

Just a moment ago I felt happy
Just a moment ago I felt WHOLE
Now I sit here with HANDS around my SOUL
STRANDED on this island of SILENCE
AMID my puddle of SORROW
Not knowing how I got here,
With only a hope of TOMORROW

I close my eyes tightly, and with all me I strain
To divide the hope in my heart, to make part for today
But tonights DARKNESS is TAUNTING that I've wasted the day
What chance that I did have is carried away
While the hands of time continue to tick, tick away.....................

[Senior_Diablo]

Oh my gosh....(silence).... I loved reading that.
You spoke volumes my dear. I loved every single word.

thank you

[OrganizedKhaos]

I'm glad you can see my heart in it.
Whats your email addy? send it to me via PM.... I'll be able to talk more openly.

[Wickedanima]

I love Oil, there's something really sexy about the texture, the scent of oil. I love sitting for hours and playing with it. I wish I had sable brushes, and could afford some of that fantastic textured Russian canvas to play with, but alas, I have barely had room for many years to play with my favored medium.

Otherwise, I play with digital painting, watercolors, and have tried acrylics, but we don't get along.

[OrganizedKhaos]

My mom bought me a Bob Ross oil kit and a mag subscription and the oils. ....mmmm they're so sensual, because they dont dry like acrylics.

Thank you for sharing your passion... I'm very very thankful.

[Bacchus88]

pencil, paper or pen..... I can look at something i just draw it out right no problem...

Wood working always brings me much pleasure...

what really found out is the 3d meshes and texture for modding out Video games change them make them own with my style. Elder Scroll Oblivion lets do that so it rather interest what I have done and others. My own are all work in progress...

Ill have to post up some my work let you all help with its creation

[Bacchus88]

the char. Face is this took me some time to make and helps to have ready high graphic computer. I want to more stuff like this just cool and its some time of artist vision...

[Wickedanima]

Thank you for sharing your passion... I'm very very thankful.

You're welcome. ^_^

[OrganizedKhaos]

Bacchus88 Thats really impressive!!!

[Bacchus88]

Bacchus88 Thats really impressive!!!

I am trying to get to that point, that isnt my work. The face is, everything else I download to alter my game play. If you are into video games think it is an artform of some type. Ill place some pics up here that just wow you

[aXa]

Thanks kewl... Are you talking about dead animal sculptures or something like tattoos?

yeah, pen and paper for most creative writings, like poetry. the other stuff is mostlyy body art of various forms. alas, i can not draw for a damn. but i like the idea of both temporary and permanent drawings in flesh(tattoos or henna). occasionally i'll just use a pen to draw designs or write something on someone's flesh. i love the idea of getting inked with some of my own writings. there's is a sense of permanence that comes with a tattoo; and something more temporary is nifty as well, being transient in nature.

[Vaughn]

I seem to be perpetually covered or spattered with paint.

[Bikerpunk]

I seem to be perpetually covered or spattered with paint.

I'm COVERED in gesso from stretching my own canvas.

[Vaughn]

I'm COVERED in gesso from stretching my own canvas.

Ha...yeah, I can relate to that as well.

[VoltaireBlue]

[Senior_Diablo]

cool....i've never done any video game modding.. is it hard?

I just gotta say how beautiful I thought that statement is.
The sentiment is eloquent and beautifully written.

[Bacchus88]

yeah it is hard, but people have been telling me you will hit this wall and every thing will be easier. I have hit that wall yet.... I am self teaching myself on how to do it...

But you are dealing with meshes or frame of item. Texture, I am better at I can them on other people Mods and alter them to more my liking. Just the Meshes are driving me nuts...

Elder scroll IV Oblivion is this huge RPG... So the level of modding is limitless, I have mods that have changed the weather to give it a real feeling. More than just changing or adding armor. Clothing, Face texture, Horse armor, new creators, adding Castles.. Making the water more alive, changing the city where they look like living city.Even little things like making eyes, or giving the ability to have Nose and Ear rings. Hair color, and the way that it moves.

the Fact that I can move a camera is this 3d world and see other way have added or made is just wonderful. it is alway like those who take real life images.. Yeah I might be Geek for this, but i love it ... I want to share it, show it off. if you are geek like ill post please enjoy...

[OrganizedKhaos]

Thats REALLY kewl!!! I'm glad that you are still pursuing your passion, even though its very difficult, you haven't let that detour you.
