@Sandy_123 and @Pandapaws ... thanks 
I've got a 3210 somewhere ... good old fashioned snake

It's been interesting going through my folders ... over a thousand images and so many I've forgotten making.  Not sure where my head was at with this one.  Not a good place I think ...

Realised why the links weren't working, wasn't creating a shared one

@WelshBlue brilliant artwork again. Can see something wasn’t great at the time you created this, due to the barb wire on the word unrequited…..ouch! A bit sharp and prickly

@WelshBlue, brilliant artwork! looks really good

i used to belong to a art studio for people with intelectual disability for a number of years,since then ive been in 3 major intelectual disability exhibitions in manchester and one in brighton.one was at a major museum in manchester -one of my works was a political poster on spreading awareness of gender disphoria in adults with ID (i am a trans man myself) ,when i went to see the exhibition for th first time with one of mt support staff there were a couple of students around 20 yrs old laughing at it and they destroyed some of that work by marking all over it,i refused to give into there atitutdes though and asked for it to be kept up,my poster was making awareness of gender disphoria in people with ID,not there to start a debate on what people think about being trans.

i dont do much art now,as im waiting for LD nurses to sort out the issues i have with top surgery, its been put off sincee last october as no one knows what theyre doing inc the CLDT.

it doesnt 'trigger' me but i feel quite weird posting my work as ive been called a burden and waste of oxygen my whole life,i was expelled from a special school at 15 (never found another placement as i was considered to challenging and unteachable) and so all i did was sit in my bedroom day and night making art.

the only thing i was good at was art at that time,i even sucked at computers. inc by people on supposed support groups but i have three of my art works tthat my most favurite artwork i did was a fan based thing, for a PC game on the steam network called meadow.i played it for years,i was a huge meadow lover. the beautiful,friendly network didnt abuse you like you might get on other games or forums.

you start as a young animal usualy a young badger and youve got to do certin things to get acess to other animals like the lynx.

so i painted two rabbits having just met each other in one of the main snowy caves. i painted it fully in photoshop (i pay for legit photoshop and lightroom every month),i was taught how to use photoshop when i went to the art studio.

so this is 'ode to meadow' : https://outsidein.org.uk/galleries/emlyn-william-scott/attachment/bunnyicy-jpg/#modal-image

and my second one that apeared in the exhibition at the peoples history museum is a clay model of one of my chonky cat fish that took me months to craft out,get fired in the kiln and specialy paint,i did this at the art studio: https://outsidein.org.uk/galleries/emlyn-william-scott/attachment/img_20220731_110237896-jpg/#modal-image

my craft now though is DJing. ive noticed its not mentioned on the list here-im so sorry if its not right here.

i have DJed since 1999 on vinyl,but having being shifted around so many residential homes i just left the decks and mixer and active speakers at my parents house.

years later,october 2022 to be exact,i started e-DJing again, i use my gaming laptop with ryzen 7 4000 series CPU, 32GB of sodimm RAM  etc purely for DJing with serato DJ pro software,my pioneer REV-1 DJ controler and a heavy duty flight case built to take a laptop sitting on top of but my cat is hogging it at the moment.

i spend a while typing out each track ive got planned for a mix,next ill put them in a decent order, and then i record the mix,sometimes my laptop sometimes does green screen of death (im in the microsoft insider programme and one of the settings theyre going to be changing is the harsh blue screen of death) so i have to restart making the mix,but im really proud of my most current mix:

Hi @CATP welcome to the forum.  Wow at you getting work displayed. No one here will ridicule your art works. So if you want to post it feel free. Some fab art on this thread.

Grinchy

Welcome to the forum @CAPT, brilliant work there, yes post more of your artwork here, we have a variety of styles and tastes on here, no one will give you grief

Pandapaws

Hi @CATP welcome to this lovely art group. Are you able to post actual pics of your art rather than a link ? It may just only happen to me but Sadly links don’t always work for me 🙁 

Pandapaws

I did a birthday art giveaway last month, and created these two for the winners

Love it @Pandapaws

Pandapaws

Thanks so much @Sandy_123

WelshBlue

@Pandapaws ... thank you ... there's a lot of my work where I look back and think, woah it was a bad place.
But the future is where we live   

Thanks @Sandy_123 and @Grinchy

@CATP ... no judgement here.  Only encouragement.  Having followed your links, and a few not linked to - would be a shame not to post your work.  You've a talent that needs to be shared and appreciated by likeminded people    I really like your work

@Pandapaws ... love the latest editions, a real flow and simply amazing work.  The hair in the first one ... wow, you could run your fingers through it ... actually sounds a bit weird now I've put it online ...

Scarab ... was just doodling one day and it evolved

That is lovely. I can iimagiine that as a ring or brooch. Or as  a 'fascinator' with some featherrs on a hat or headband.







PBN picture. I changed it quite a bit  still llearning.  I was looking at making my own frames, but it isn't really practical as things are. It was interesting researching different methods, options and ideas though. I bought
