New Art

Tue Jul 28, 2009, 11:48 PM
So I haven't really been focusing on photography lately, and not so much on the art department in general. But hopefully sometime soon, I'll be putting out more photographs and maybe a few more paintings. I enjoy painting, but I don't think I'm going to go anywhere with it.

I'm 20 years old, been doing photography ever since a convention in my 5th grade year in school. I started the hobby to get closer to my grandpa; it really helped me get to know him better. He was then and still is a very large influence on my life. His attitude towards life taught me a lot about growing up and how to look at the world. We then started oil painting together, in which we painted twice. From then on I started painting with acrylics, and have tried a couple more oil paintings.

I hope to go to school for photography and learn more about the art, but right now I'm just focusing on getting by with work. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll be able to go through a private art school; but right now I'm happy with my amateur work. I'm hoping to get into airbrushing as well. I bought an airbrush a little while ago to do some very simple stencils on shirts, but now I am waiting on funds for an air compressor.

I have been doing musical work for 11 years now. I started playing piano, and quickly found my niche in drums and percussion. I've been in a couple bands, played some shows and have a lot of fun doing it. I know music will always be a huge part of my life, and I hope that it can stay open as a career option for me.

I like doing commission work for people, and always welcome new ideas and critique.

That's okay. :). I was just curious because it has similar styling to my Canon AT-1. Which is at least 20-25 years old. I'd have to ask my parents when they bought it. I love older cameras though! And gorgeous gallery, btw ;).
