I'm more of a performance "artist". My preferred media is methane gas and fine linens. Or inexpensive fabric. Or the couch. Besides the methane, I'm very diverse.


Outstanding work guys and gal! I'm very envious. My sister inherited the artistic talent from my mother. She's done paintings in all different media and pottery, with Indian seed pots being a favorite, some sculpture, some screenprinting. She sold a painting to Julia Roberts when she was still in Taos (making me 3 degrees separated from Kevin Bacon ). She has made some good money selling her work, but doesn't have that evil capitalist mentality of her brother and does it more because she enjoys it. I'm willing to be she could do rather well if she just concentrated on that. She had a very successful gallery show when she was in Taos. Ostensibly she's in Chicago now to attend the Art Institute, although I think it's more for the partying and kickball.

I majored in Landscape Architecture and had just enough drawing ability to get by, although I think a general lack of ambition is what kept me from developing my talents.
