I've got a cousin who can draw anime like its just breathing, I write but stick people are my favorite to draw. My son has a little art in him, when he was little they looked like rorschach tests but he's always improving. I play guitar and piano, so I can create art from an instrument other than a pen. How about you? Got any art in you or your family, show it off!

my father can draw but he became a doctor. one of my brothers can draw but he became a dentist; but he had a minor in theater design. i am a graphic designer, novelist, and photographer with executive mba and i self-published my first novel on lulu.com, The Sand Dollar by Fifi Leigh. i did the whole work, including write, edit, drew the covers, designed promo material, and now marketing. i am trying to draw a graphic novel now.

for gitfiddleplayer... ok. sure. i can help you self-publish your book on lulu.com...there are free book covers on lulu if you dont want to design your own cover. i preferred to draw my own to display my art skills. lulu is do-it-yourself publishing...they just print and distribute. i am currently procrastinating on 2nd chapter of my 2nd novel...wondering if my drawing are flowing the way i want them to or i should make changes before i continue...i am currently doing forensic research since i am trying to make it a mystery crime drama...

Whoa! The talent meter at your house is pegged on 10! I'll bookmark your site and look around. I written some children's books so that site might help me, I might call on you for some direction if that would be okay. I like graphic novels, especially when they get made into movies like Sin City or 300. I recently got into them while trying to sell some comic books.

Sure there are. Everybody in my family can do something. I play guitar, the bass, and keyboard. I also enjoy writing and I have been praised deeply for it. Since I have four aunts and a mother, I have noticed how in tuned we are with the arts. My mom is a writer and into making things. One of my aunts is a guitar player as well as a writer. Another aunt is a painter, sculptor, and is into drawing. And another is into graphic arts, like building websites and creating looks in magazines. And my fifth aunt is into making her own special dolls.

I play guitar and piano, I checked out your site on Helium. I write for Assoicated Content under Jeff Rogers. I'll bookmark your page and read some of your stuff. Sounds like your family supports the arts by keeping them alive.

I am working as a graphic artist in a hotel. I felt bored in my job 'cause most of the time my companion is the computer. I don't have time talking with other people.
