Hey Thanks for the input Ayden. Yes There all over tik tok. I get some dude that has an obvious fake page asking if I would like to sell him art to turn into NFT's. I just say No not another NFT dude! they leave me alone after that . he he. Cheers.

@Alan Robinson Ahh really. Yeah I'm not surprised Alan. These guys are hard to pick straight off the bat but soon give themselves away. Like this so called David Geffen until I googled who David Geffen was and yeah like I said above, I don't think a Billionaire is on the net scouring out NFT ideas on new skool communities. he he. Thanks for letting us know. cheers.

Of course. Hit me with anything I'm always happy to bounce ideas around. Just an artist or also an enthusiast? Great question. I'll have to think on that one Bart. I think I'm both.

@Bart Kirkpatrick Yes! I watched F1 the other night it's racing car movie with Brad Pitt staring in it. pretty good movie. Anyway there's a line in there where he says "For a moment it's just you and the road and for that moment I am free! Once you get that feeling you spend your whole life trying to get it again." Paraphrasing but along those lines. Bart I've had that feeling of being completely in the zone just you and the canvas, sketch pad or whatever it is. Watching an incredibly hard subject come together right before my eyes. It's feelings of complete electricity running through my body. I haven't had that in a long time. But I'm hoping to experience it again.

Sorry for being a bit dumb here Monica but are you working on a piece and you're drawing Cane Calito or is it Cains work? What am I looking at?

@Monica Norton- Nugin Ah I see. well it defiantly looks like the reference. Great job! Blending looks good composition is well centered. It's coming along nicely. Well done Monica.

@Katy Hansen Hi Katy Hansen! Nice composition with the landscape. The gradient from the horizon line is fantastic. Really gives mood to the scene. The streams reflections are great and the trees give a real sense of perspective nice work! And those light bulbs brought an instant smile to my face! This is why i love this community we're building because people like you Katy! That is so cool! The creativity and thought behind that is fantastic! I would never have thought of painting lightbulbs! Creativity is everywhere! Thanks for being here and hopefully I can offer some tips and trick along the way! Again Welcome!

@Connie Stegall So good to have you here Connie! I love your attitude already! Welcome aboard. So here I want genuine people that love their art whatever that may be. Yes selling is an honour but also the zone that us artists get into when we're creating is like nothing else. Other artists get it! Hopefully you learn some tips and tricks and mainly just keep inspired. Thanks for being here. Heff.

Music to my ears David. You don't need to convince me, or any of us here. if I'm able to speak for other members that is. We all have that need to either be appreciated for our art or appreciate art like yourself and others in here. I haven't really put my finger on why we need to create but when we do it is very self fulfilling and then the cherry on top is that others appreciate our vision so much they want it. They want to own it. They feel the need to spend their hard earned cash to have it. Not because it's a luxury statement but because it speaks to them in some way? Then you truly understand it. One of my members said they feel bad if they don't create. That my friend is the essence right there. That is why we need too. Because we feel wrong or bad or something, just isn't right if we don't do it......Create. Thanks for being here David.
