Whose work is this? I like it. I am an artist, as well as art enthusiast!
All of them are from friends - I will never go and buy a piece of art from a store and hang it on my wall - it has no meaning. However, there has been some pieces on Etsy that has caught my attention. All the photographs and smaller pieces are photographs I've taken. Paris, Saddam bucks [not a photo, but the actual pre-invasion Iraq money], Afghan people portrait, Colosseum at Rome, Grand Place at Brussels, a cross at the top of a mountain at San Vito Lo Capo - Sicily, and some signs around/near the Notre Dam.

All my art work, I give to people. I don't find any value in hanging up my art work on my own wall!

For what it's worth, this is something I did during a class [completely unrelated to art...]:

^Very cool!

I've given alot of stuff away, but I have also sold alot of my work @ shows, both to friends & strangers.
I miss those pieces, lol...especially this one:



*This was a pretty big wall-piece, I was very inspired when I did this...
A couple I know have this in their home.

I have no probem hanging my own art on my walls, lol. Certain pieces I refuse to part w/, they just carry so much meaning to me.
They speak to me...they are me.

I don't paint so much anymore, but do alot of crafty handmade & digital art pieces. I find it a more effective outlet of expression.

Stoked on the color scheme and how you've depicted the moon in such a way.

I only draw/paint when I am bored - that usually comes about once a year for two weeks or so. There are some pieces I miss, but for the most part I'm happy it's hanging on someone elses wall.

You've got any other art I could take a peek at?

I only wear boots (Red Wing Iron Ranger and Wolverine 1000 mile). If I'm at the gym, I wear Converse All Star/Adidas Powerlift Trainers/Brooks for running. When I'm out, I wear Derby/Chelsea/boots.
