I make a living doing art.
I do a little of everything, but don't really excel at any one particular medium. Mainly utilitarian art.
When i'm hard up for cash, I'll locate cheap/quality guitars/bass guitars for sale, tune em up, carve em up and flip em for a profit.

I do however carve mantels, banisters, table legs, custom kitchen cuboards and things of that nature.
I restore old pinball machines (inside and out-graphic's.electronic's etc etc) and a lot of other vintage items, build damascus knives and swords, chainmale and the list goes on.
My girl says i'm the man with 1001 hobbies and no real career. :)
Work with a handful of photographers doings props and costumes. they keep me quite busy.
My main bread and butter is foam and murals. i do 3-d murals (for kids rooms-full reno sometimes including custom theme furniture)
and sets for photographers.

The castle in this pic is foam (walls also)

i suggest you purchase 2 large pieces of faom, recess for the bike and glue the 2 together sandwiching the bike inbetween.
from there you can use just about anything to shape it. i shaped the entire castle/walls with an angle grinder/wire wheel.
you can use a toaster element to cut it, or simply sand it with sandpaper.
 
I'm a scrap metal sculptor. You can see my work online at:
salvagedbeautystudio.wordpress.com (blog)
salvagedbeautystudio.etsy.com (small sculptures)
salvagedbeautystudio.flicker.com (all works)
 
Ive drawn all my life and have never kept any pictures.
As I have gotten older my art has changed, the past 10 years my art has been fueled by industrial design. I love figuring out what makes a widget attractive and un-attractive.
Ive designed theatrical stage sets, additions to houses and a few office spaces. Im falling in love with Pin striping, maybe that will be my new creative season.

These are some pix ive already posted on the net- I was lazy and just copied the post code... :mrgreen:

only things ive got pics of for now....once i get some batteries i will post more
 
i draw with oil pastels sometimes, and i just finished a little oil painting, but i am not an artist - i consider myself someone who enjoys playing with art materials.

oh, and i do make papier mache objects from time to time: witness Senor HardHead, my avatar. if nothing else, i make a new papier mache skull like him for a local Dia de los Muertos festival every year for the last few years.
 
the talent level of the people on this forum is absolutely AMAZING!

this is a "wow" for all the posts in this thread!
 
I do engraving and gold inlay on guns. All done by hand with hammer and chisel...no machines of any kind. I learned how to engrave in Italy where I went to an art and engraving school in '84-'85. I'm retired now and don't do it much anymore. My latest project is a badge to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1 in 1914. Gary

...well I used to paint professionally a long long long time ago...then I stopped after getting ripped-off by my management, I just got fed up with the whole art industry and the politics when the price of my paintings went up...so I quit once my contract ran out. This was the last painting I've done back in 2003...I haven't painted since. (24x36 mixed medium on canvas) acrylic and oil :wink:

The last bit of "art" i did was this etching done on copper plate. My wife is a very talented etcher and water color artist. She pulled some strings and got me into an advanced printmaking class.

I had a Ducati Monster at the time so that is where the inspiration came from. Somewhere I have two other "older" desmodronic valvetrain etchings. I even prepped a huge plate in anticipation of a full size cut away of a Ducati motor.

Per my sig, I'm an airbrush artist. I've done quite a few shirts and R/C cars amung other items. My new direction will be more toward the fine art side of things though I'll probably still keep to my trasportation stuff but pin-ups have always been a fancy of mine.

My wesite is http://www.airbostongraphics.com (but even that is almost a year out of date) and I also have a page on facebook (search airboston graphics).
