Any out there?
What do you do/create?
Name any artist you love that can be found on the web.
I'm a ceramic artist and sculptor. My roots are in Japanese-style wheel thrown work and mixed media (primarily ceramic) sculpture.
I got bored on the wheel today and threw a 25 pound solid pawn, about 16" tall. Could've done it lighter/hollow, but liked the idea of a 25 pound pawn.
A contemporary sculptor/artist I'm into (who happens to live in my area): Tim Hawkinson

This is the best link I could find on him.
Cheers.

I'm into textile arts, more spesifically needlearts (at the moment, even though I have been done a bit this and a bit of that (woven/ printed textiles, ceramics etc.)) and my artistic obsession actualizes in designing counted cross stitch. (No roses and such, mind you.)
And like any good artist I don't make a decent living with it. 😉
