anyone dabbled in it before? oil or even acrylic?

two years ago i built a massive heavy-duty easel for her birthday since she wanted to get into painting, but she's never really touched it and it's sitting up in the arts and crafts room just taking up space. i got off work early tonight and on a whim went out to hobby lobby and bought some stretcher bars, a roll of canvas, and a stapler and built a 48" by 36" canvas on my kitchen floor.

i have no training or even a hint of dabbling in it, so if my painting sucks i'm going to call it neo-impressionism, or maybe post-abstract... maybe create a new genre entirely with no prior precedent or context so i will be free of criticism. my goal is to create esoteric, obscure pieces of art that only the upper echelons of the educated and societal members can appreciate. it will be fraught with pretentious meaning and subjective eloquence. i will explain away my utter lack of actual talent as an attempt to capture the esoteric through the blurred eyes of the primitive proletarian.

i'll post my first piece when it's finished. bidding will start the next day, $1,000 minimum, as the demand will surely far exceed the supply (which is one.)

weird, recently on a whim I went out and bought an exacto knife and some spray paint and have been making stencils, even though I am average at art it is a lot of fun. I recommend just enjoying yourself and make something you personally like.

      Should I buy the huddle?!?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, we kinda found out didn't we. A lot of the people who whined constantly left and a lot of the toxicity just magically vanished with them with zero changes in how we moderated the site. Wild. It's almost like the folks who were constantly complaining about toxicity were causing a lot of the toxicity. Listen, some folks were unhappy here so they left and created a place where they're happier. Good. That's how the internet should work. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. If there isn't a virtual place that you think should exist you can create that place. But you really have to stop trying to drag us back to that place of toxicity. If you like the Discord group, cool. If you still like it here too, great. But don't keep dragging up this bullshit. Do you see me going over to their group and calling them a bunch of whiners? No. They created the place that they wanted and I'm genuinely happy for them. Participate here without constantly bringing that poo up or just leave and stay over there.

      Are the Panthers still coddling Bryce?

      He has the arm talent you want with good size and mechanics (can break down under pressure). I feel like PSU never really turned him loose, but they also didn’t hard any great weapons not named Warren. I could see him as a Herbert type prospect who makes a better pro when he gets away from his college’s scheme.  I doubt he makes it out of round 1 unless he regresses big time without Warren.

      I think Bryce is going to benefit from TMac’s ability to track the ball especially when the play breaks down. Legette wasn’t great at that last year. Im interested in seeing if XL comes back this year putting more of an emphasis on using his hands to catch the ball. If you go and watch all of XL’s receptions his final season at South Carolina he catches the ball the same way he did his rookie season. He’s never trusted his hands and it shows up when he’s asked to catch the ball over his shoulder. There’s always going to be frustrating drops if that’s how he’s going to try and catch the ball the rest of his career  Scourton lost 20-25lbs after the college season. He actually played at a similar weight to his A&M weight his sophomore season at Purdue when he had 10 sacks. However, he said he felt his body was more tighter (weight wise) carrying that extra 20-25 at Purdue than at A&M. He said the weight loss wasn’t even done purposely but just him learning how to eat correctly.
