Art!

Laddo

I am very passionate about art and was just wondering if there were any other art lovers out there? Who are your favourite artists and why? Do you do any art yourself? I'd love to know more about all you arty people!

Personally, I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. It has always been amazingly therapeutic for me - it feels as if all the stress, frustration and tension in me flows out through the pencil/pen and leaves me feeling refreshed. The problem is, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always reject my own work after a while. Anyone got any tips to reduce this trait a bit? One of my favourite artists is Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz fame - I aspire to develop a style like his someday but I just can't seem to break out of my current (lack of) style at the moment!

  • I like to draw still life in my spare time at home as well as making paper boomerangs and planes. The reason I do these is because it gives me a full feeling of focus, attention to detail and a sense of relaxation. I would like to mention that these hobbies are quite recent and I am not talented by any means at what I do, I am not perfect always and I have no art,craft or design background.

    I do these things simply because I like to do them. I wish their was a job out there that could be give me the same kind of feelings and processes that I have mentioned above because I keep my drawings and paper arts in a folder so that one day I might be able to show my hobbies to someone. However, their does not seem to be a role like that in the world of work that would easily suit me and that's for me the most depressing really.
