The Art Thread

Nicely done Carpe. I wish I had some creative skills. My sister got them all. She was great at doing my art homework in school. I helped her with math. That was some good sibling teamwork.

Lol that's a pretty good system to have. My brother and I were in multiple classes together and always competing.

Competing eh? There was no competition between the two of us, at least not at school. She was all about the visual arts. I still can't draw a straight line, but I was good with most of the other school subjects.

My brother and I are too similar. We're only one year apart, we were both in the top percentile academically, and we both have an interest in the arts. It's funny because when we were younger he was stronger in math, and I was stronger in English. Now, as adults, his career is very English/speech driven and mine is very Math/logics driven. Maybe that competition drove us to excel in our weaknesses.

That's entirely possible. I never had a rivalry with my sister, who is two years younger than me.

My sister used to paint up a storm. I'm not sure she has time to do it anymore, which is a shame. She had quite the talent. I think she even sold some in high school.

Most of the women in my family have an arts inclination. My aunt is a graphic designer. As a kid, I remember seeing her paint all kinds of things. My favourite piece of hers is this triptych she did of a coke can, of all things.

It's hard to keep hobbies alive as life trudges forward sometimes.

Most definitely. I cut out two sports (curling & tennis) from my life when my kids were born. At the time, I actually needed a break from them. I miss them now.

Thinking of redoing this but adding more rocket references. Like, literal rocket parts.
