I'm looking to find a partner in the art world. Somebody who I can trust and work with on artworks. If it eventually becomes more than just friends thats cool too :) Being an artist in this starving economy is really hard, especially for a sculptor because materials costs are 10 times that of drawing materials. I should know, I've dabbled in both 2D and 3D arts and my most expensive 2D material were my Prisma Color pencils. Pens are ridiculously priced but oh so wonderful to use. So in short I will post a few things about me and lets see what sticks :)
Name: Vince
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Alignment: non religious
Body Type: Average
Height: 5' 9"
Dragon Mane: Red
Eyes: Green
Location: Bend, Oregon
First off I have never been to a convention and I want to go to one really badly but I cant afford to even leave town I'm so broke right now. The economy really killed art sales for sculptors like myself. I'm going to try my hand at 2D art again to see if I can get any commissions. I used to go to renaissance fairs in California and I love them! It's so much fun to dress up and play the games and just soak up the energy of those festivals. If I can afford it I will try to make it to the Pirate Festival in Portland Next year.
Secondly I am a kind hearted fellow who loves nature and wildlife. I was raised on my families Arabian horse ranch for half my life till my parents divorced and then I lost everything including my Pinto Mare "Panda". I loved that horse more than anything and it nearly killed me to see her sold to somebody else.
When it comes to getting close I am not really good at that. I can be distant at times even when I am in the same room. I have ADD "Attention Deficit Disorder" which also means I cant focus on more than one thing at a time. I do try to improve on this, though its not easy. Also I love hugs! I don't kiss and I am Celibate and don't want human offspring. And to be perfectly honest I have never been in a relationship so I am kind of a blank slate which also means I am a little shy. I am quiet and if theres a party I would prefer to be on my own sketching or reading.
I don't drink alcohol. I don't take drugs "or vitamins". I don't smoke "allergic".
As for art partners I was thinking something like a 2D artist because we can deal with the hard economy. When sculpture is down 2D is up and when 2D is down Sculpture is up. Or thats how I perceive it. And we can also learn from each other and improve our art in different ways. Though if your a sculptor, mask maker, costumer as well that would be really cool too.
I have a tendency of forgetting to eat when I get into a sculpture. I sometimes end up sculpting till 3am at night. I am becoming a minimalist I think. I have found that with more possessions you have the less room you have to display your artwork LOL. That and being as the economy is I have been trying to sell stuff I don't need and so far its a slow process but it has helped a bit and brought out a new perspective on life in general.
I don't care for TV much, hence why I rarely watch it unless I want to watch a DVD like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Dark Crystal, and other great films. I am not a hard core gamer. I sold my Xbox a while back and am trying to sell my games. I have a PS2 but rarely turn the thing on. If I do play games they should have a nice story to them and good graphics. Not just be blood and guts. I don't even listen to the radio unless it wakes me up in alarm mode. I am more of a night owl cause I can stay awake for hours.
I love dinosaurs, dragons, wolves, horses, dolphins and just about every animal out there except for spiders. I have arachnophobia so if one touches me or gets on me I freak big time.
If you need more info on me just ask. :)
