Sketching & Libations

Two of my most fave things to do together. How about you do you ever engage in such behavior? Please feel free to share!
This one of mine is in the sketchbook i have here at my favorite pub today. The sketch is from last year but I'm getting back into it today. *cheers*

Ex? *gasp* Oh why, oh why, hast thou forsaken thy art!? Or something like that... What arts did you do? (thank you kindly for the compliment as well)

 

I'm a flake too so we're in good company. Did you flirt-text her back? Feel free to tell me to mind my own beeswax. :3 Do you do portraits, nudes, kittens, inquiring minds and all that?! Which materials did you buy? *art lust* New art supplies are dreamy...

Williamsburg oils are my decadent pride and joy but honestly i even draw with Crayola crayons.

So, dumb question =/ if I wanted to post old NSFW paintings & such do I do that in this thread or make a new one and title it appropriately?

 

Please initiate a thread w the premise you would be sharing finished pieces from days of yore (NSFW is not a concern, but if you tuck that in the title I betcha you get traffic ) Call it @Wildmermaid 's NSFW Gallery. Put what you like in it. Make it so.

 

Thanks for that! You totally made me grin! Hmmm, I guess I must figure out an image hosting website or something >.< as cannot upload images from computer and alas don't have them on phone. Fiddlesticks. Hopefully one day I get the hang of this.

 

Photobucket - Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editing.
If you haven't done it yet, open an account, make a folder labelled "Share These" or something equally brilliant, stuff it full of assorted work, then add them to a TFP thread over a period of time. Days or weeks. Or longer.
Easy to share from Photobucket, and if you hit a glitch, look on the TFP homepage for a mod on duty to message (or share a conversation or whatever this site calls it). If a mod isn't currently active message them anyway. Help is on its way.

 

Thank you bunches! <3 I'll give it a go!

 

Beautiful work.
I don't draw, never had the skill and my hands are shot now.
I tend to stick to the written word and have been known to drink while writing.

So pray tell what is the libation?

 

Very kind words, thank you for them! May I ask why your hands are shot? Do you prefer writing longhand or typing?

Tonight the libation is scotch on the rocks, i partially dislocated right damn collarbone tonight so scotch at least makes it mentally less hurty. This afternoon at pub it was a really fresh and nice margarita with salted rim.

 

I used to write long hand then type it up but can't do that anymore.
I was a chef for twenty years until carpel tunnel and trigger finger set in.
The surgeries have helped a lot but I can't type fast and being a chef is out.
Lucky for me DVR retrained me to work in their field so I can help people with disabilities get back to work (so it kind of comes full circle).

 

Acrylic on canvas panel. Also older but it is what it is. There are many things I would go back and change, but at this moment what i most want is to push myself forward. Bye for now. *hugs*

 

I am well impressed.
That is a Belle not to be fucked with.
Good work indeed.

 

Please forgive my ignorance but what is DVR? I think that is super cool that you work with other disabled folk!

I love that you said, "That is a Belle not to be fucked with." That phrase just gave me the evilest smirk and happy smile! <3

 

I work for ADOL (Alaska Department of Labor) DVR (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation).
Every state has one though they might call it something different and sometimes it is through the education department.
Voc Rehab is federally mandated but some states only kick in enough money to provide the absolute meanest of services.
Alaska at least for right now is at full participation.
We try to help everyone we can.

As to cooking I worked my way up the line from dishwasher, to pantry, to line chef, to running a brigade, to managing small restaurants.
I also worked as a butcher and cut specialty meats.
The thing about living in a state where the economy is like a roller-coaster, you can get a lot of experience in different restaurants as they go boom and bust.

 

Thank you for educating me on that! I've never been part of that system as started having surgery on legs when 8, then could walk for a handful of years, now just work freelance.

My cousin was just up in Alaska working for a month, and loved it very much! I half expect him to move there if an opportunity arises. Sorry for even worse typing, damn shoulder dislocated- well just partially this time, and brain is foggy now.

I hope Alaska gets to retain full voc. rehab. when the dust settles!
