Hello

Hello I'm Billy Kidd.

I'm autistic and like drawing. I started drawing and diving in to the world of art and colour with my sister when I was a kid. She sadly died in 2016 but I keep drawing.

It helps me stay sane and survive in this strange world.

  • Great story, thanks for sharing!

  • We used to do collab drawings together where we mixed our favourite characters from movies and tv in to the same drawing. She did one side and I did the other. So she did Disney princesses and stuff like that and I did Marvel characters and wrestlers haha.

    They came out pretty well too Grin

  • Hello. Yes, I have a lot of good memories of my sister. We spent a lot of time together as we were very close. She had a great sense of humour and we had a lot of funny times together growing up.

    One of my favourites which I remember really well was when we were about 9 or 10 we were mucking about in the front room and we accidentally hit over a bottle of our parents favourite bottle of wine. We thought it broke but luckily it wasn't. And then my sister undid the bottle lid and smelt it which she said stank and then the doorbell rang and she dropped it. Most of the contents spilled in to the carpet and then I came up with a plan of replacing the missing contents with some cola because it had a strong taste...

    In my youthful innocence I didn't think an adult would notice ThinkingStuck out tongue closed eyes 

    So a weekend came where our parents had our grandparents over and my dad got out the wine we had *ahem* enhanced - Channon and I got chatting feigning innocence and then we heard the most hilarious noise ever.. Dad spitting the wine he'd just drank back out. 

    Haha hilarious!!! We got a hell of a telling off! My dad was furious, mum was complaining about the price of the wine, my Gran wasn't really bothered and one of the best bits was that Grandad was roaring with laughter - he was the only one who saw the funny side.

    My sister and I often talked about this memory and still found it funny looking back on it.

  • Hi I Sperg I'll keep a look out for that thread. I would like to showcase some of my drawings, not all of them as some are awful but some I think are worth showing.

    Great thread title!!! "Show Us Your Pu55y" I think that is the best thread title I have ever read online Grin I do have a cat actually.. Say hello to Shaggy....

    I'll look for your cat thread and share some more of my boy here. He's a sleepy cat most of the time but has a big heart and a love of spending time in the garden.

    I've never drawn him before though. That could be a future project now it's been suggested.

    Good for you on remembering the good times. I try to do the same. Remembering the sad stuff just brings you down - makes you sad and leaves darkness in your heart. Happy things are what should be remembered and that's what I try to do now.

    It's what my sister would want as well. She was a very happy person, always smiling and had a great sense humour and that's what I try and remember.

    Thanks for the welcome here.

  • Hi Billy.
    Do you have a funny story to share about your sister, or maybe describe something you liked to draw together?

  • There is a thread hereabouts who's name escapes me right now, where artistic talent is very much appreciated and you will find fellow talented drawers.

    If you draw cats, then there is my own thread with a far more memorable name of "Show Us Your Pu55y!" where so far it's all been photo's rather than drawings or paintings...

    I was sorry to read about your sister. May I suggest that you keep remembering the good stuff you did together, rather than mourning the loss you suffered? MY O/H has only sad memories of people or pets that she's lost, I chose the happier ones, (most of my significant grief inducing losses have been cats) which means that whenever a situation reminds me of a past shared experience it makes me happy and not sad.
