What are your artistic hobbies ? Do you play an instrument ? Which one(s) ? Play in a band ? Paint ? Draw ? Write ? Dance ?

Feel free to post images or sound samples, I personally love discovering indie art :cool:
 
I'm a bassist in a punk rock band. I would post samples, but if anyone saw our video-clips I would immediately lose all credibility.
 
Acoustic guitar. My dogs are my main audience, and I'm totally fine with that.

I used to draw a lot. Not anymore, though.

Sculpture, gold juwelry, writing. I haven't done any in a donkey's age.
 
I do wood working. Mostly turned segmented bowls.

I actually have none of it anymore. I gave the jewelry to girlfriends and my mother having usually made it with someone in mind. My brother got a set of golden dog-tags. I did two different methods that allowed very different looks. In order to make the hammer work easier I used 999.9 gold for these things. I did try Sterling Silver, but was not at all successful.
With lost wax method I did a kind of polished medieval figurative style of faces and contorted free form. Mostly this was belt buckle and kilt broaches. The material I used was a gold and platinum mixture that was very hard to work after breaking the mold.

The sculpture went to a wider set of friends whether they liked it or not. IT was rather nasty Gothic realism but derived from Renaissance Bosh than today's Gothic style as it did not yet exist at that time.

I've played anything with strings (that doesn't require a bow, that is) since I was about 4, I'm a photographer and I moonlight as a food/wine writer.

i fronted a rock band for fifteen years. got the chance to write lyrics then, which was so much fun. performing is an art of its own, as well.

these days, my favorite art is poetry. i'm involved in a writing group, and a few of my poems have been included in local anthologies. i also got to participate in an event with one of my heroes.

other than that, i play a little guitar and harmonica. i have also taken one painting class and would like to do more, but time is short, and my skill level in that area is a bit of an obstacle. probably will do it again anyway, though, because why not?

edit to add : i really enjoy photography, and have focused on that from time to time.

I love every plucked string instrument too ! I own a guitalele, a ukalele, 3 basses, 2 electric guitars & 3 acoustic guitars. I'd like to get my hands on an upright bass, a banjo & a pipa though. Can't spend all my money on instruments though, man's gotta eat.
 
Cooking, gardening, living life and writing are my creative outlets, we can argue over if those are art maybe.

I have a deep appreciation for music though I cant make any, one of my few major mistakes though I made sure that my kids can.

I dont swing that way, I like everything, and my tastes change with time. The only think that has been consistent is Miles Davis, I always like Miles, it is just a matter of which ones today.

one of the guys had some family stuff that he needed to deal with. we're all still friends, and they were all at my wedding a week ago. November of 2018 will be our 20 year anniversary, so i wouldn't be surprised if we do something to celebrate. i've started practicing singing again just in case. if not, we had a heck of a run and came out of it alive and kicking. we got to do some super cool stuff. one of these days, it might be fun to do a DP band photo / story telling thread. we have a few musicians here that i bet will have some awesome stuff to share.
