I make my living selling stuff. I sell things that I had no hand in creating. I sell products that you can't touch. I sell things.
I'm good at it. Prior to last year I had never seen a year where I sold less than 130% to goal of the things that they asked me to sell.
I like the things they ask me to sell.
I like the company that asks me to sell it. Truly, I do.
However, I'm an artist.
I make music
I'll ALWAYS MAKE MUSIC FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
ARE YOU AN ARTIST? DOES IT CONFLICT WITH YOUR DAY JOB?
Hey, I'm flagamuffin. I just got home from work, but the day's just getting started. Tonight I'll catch up on some emailing, listen to the usual amount of music, read a hundred pages or so, and sing to myself. And wake up my roommates. I'll probably learn a lot of cool things. Tomorrow I will wake up with too little sleep and drowse my way through my daily responsibilities so that it can be nighttime again and I can pursue my hobbies. I like my life a lot.
I'm Max. I'm enjoying being 24. Life's cool, I'm trying not to overthink it. I'm not an artist but I like making things and I probably make something new every other day. I just made a pineapple smoothie—that probably doesn't count but it was delicious. Felt like art going down.
I don't like this question because I don't have a good answer to it. Ask me again in five years. I have many interests, but lack the clarity or time to make them truly meaningful beyond music. Certain aspects of which I have been drawing back from, fortunately playing and writing aren't those aspects. I'm not sure who I am, used to be more convinced but that has changed drastically over the last nine months and will continue to change for at least the next nine. I am somebody who: Loves music, is interested in some points of spirituality, is interested in web development to a degree, enjoys food/drink and the culture that surrounds it (and is currently trying a week of vegetarianism that might get extended), possesses a vague interest in getting involved in political campaigns, isn't exactly sure what makes him happy outside of small moments of inner-peace, and is still trying to figure out how to make the world a better place one person and community at a time. All of the above is subject to change.
I'm 8bit aka Samurai Frog aka S-Dog aka Marth-main aka walking Fangamer advertisement. I like the Digimon Movie soundtrack, Lupe Fiasco, Giraffage, R&B and peanut butter. I work for my school's Registrar Office and it's awesome. I get to edit cool videos and help people with tech problems and have an influence/my opinion/voice heard on how new students should experience orientation when coming to the school, even though I hate said school. The office is diverse, I get treated with respect, and I'm not doing retail or fast-food, so I know how lucky I am to get the job I have for the pay I have at the age I am. Am I an artist? I dunno, am I breathing? I think it's a weird term. I don't think I've encountered anyone who's never "made something" in their entire life. If that's the criteria we're going for, than sure, I am. But so is everyone else. I guess if you're asking me if what I do for fun is something I'd want to do full-time, probably not. I've had this discussion with Klein via PM I think. I like stability so that's what I'm going for. It's probably why I'm not that invested in school at the moment, even though I'm doing just fine in it. I guess my urge to produce outweighs my urge to consume, which could make an artist. I DUNNO. IT'S TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR THESE QUESTIONS, GREEN. ALSO WHY ARE WE YELLING? Edit: I'd like to double-down on that Marth-Main statement, I probably identify as that more than anything else nowadays. Anybody who wants to date my sister is going to have to 4-stock my Marth, final destination, no items.
Well I certainly won't be dating your sister. This much has been shown.
My name isn't Pablo and if I knew who I was I wouldn't be practicing for the SAT at 1AM. Boo you, self-aware people. Music is in there somewhere though. edit: My name isn't Pablo, I'm connected via the closed system of this zero-sum Universe to the energy of Miles Davis.
Hi! I'm SBG. I love writing. I want to write a fiction book one day - preferably several. I've always loved writing. But I don't want to be an author. I love theater - I spend 2 hours a week doing that and I've acted since I was 9. But I don't want to become an actor. I want to be a scentist. I want to work in a lab - and then some day have a lab full of wonderful amazing smart people who I mentor and help. When I was 7 my mom got a payed position as a PhD student (those positions are payed in Sweden.). When I was off school she would take me to the town were she worked and I would sit among mountains of papers and tea-cups and desks and smart people. I would sometimes help with busywork like envelopes and stuff. When my mother did testing (measuring fat on babies) I would come with and sit quietly and read or write or draw. I would eat lunch with these amazing scientists who were so intelligent and I would be included in conversation. My mom has now done her postdoc - that was why I was in the US - but she still talks with the people from her lab. Two of them got married. (To each other) And two babies. The maternity and paternity leave is why they are still PhD students. They are getting their doctorates this summer I think. Their kids are adorable. They are so, so, so cute. Since I was 5 I've wanted to be a microbiologist/something along the lines of that. I love writing and creating but I want that to be my hobby, my way to de-stress - not my day job. I don't think that makes me an artist. I see artists as people who want to spend every day and their whole life dedicated to their art. I don't. I want to still write - but if I'm not writing fiction because I'm writing scientific articles I'll be fine with that.
I'm an artist. My name is Chris. I have a BFA in studio art. My artistry is (tenuously) recognized by the state. I work in the art industry in a way. I work in a frame shop, cutting glass and matting people's posters and pictures or whatever. It interferes with my art more than the other way around. I try to work on something everyday, even if I'm sorta repeating myself all the time, at least I've made it a routine. I couldn't feed myself on the money I make from art so the job is pretty important financially. I am poor as fuck. I'm an artist. My tools sometimes spend a week at the pawn shop. I want to move into writing. I'm pretty good at it but I'm not trained in it the way I am with the artsy fartsy. I have a couple ideas I'm working on but it's harder to make it a habit every day when I have much less of an idea of what I'm doing.
Hi Steven, my name is Ryan, and I'm pretty much brand new to Hubski. I enjoy music, but I haven't made any for years. I also love art, but I'm not a good artist. People tell me I'm a decent writer, but I've never really believed them. I love to create things, but I don't like to think about other people's opinions on them, since I'm not confident in my creations. I enjoy the process, though, so I do it for myself. I'm a senior in high school, and I feel like my path in life is only starting to emerge. I'm in the IB, which is a rigorous international education program that allows me to take college-level courses in high school. I love learning, but the stress from it may kill me. Sometimes it makes me hate my life, but I've already come this far, so I refuse to give up on it now--even if it would benefit my mental health. I'm applying to a college close to me, since it's where I can afford to go, and I'm hoping I get into a Computer Science program. I've always like computers, and maybe creating code could be a form of creativity? Life is in a flux state for me right now, since there are a ton of directions I could see myself going, but I don't know how to decide on which one I want to pursue. It's a conundrum I'm sure everyone has faced--what if I make the wrong decision? If I get higher education, what happens if I get into major debt and end up hating what I do? Anyways, I don't know if that tells you much about me, but that's my life right now.
Hi, I'm Ben. I'm about to graduate with my Bachelors. Even though a non-stem degree these days is essentially a 'certificate of grown-up-ness' I've made my living for the past few years keeping people out of bankruptcy because of medical bills. It's good work, for a good company, but I'd rather not do it for the rest of my life. I'm probably going to get a job doing something a bit closer to my heart. (HAH. Pun) However, I am an artist. I've written a few songs, shared fewer. I've spent more than one late night playing my guitar by myself, singing anything that came to mind. I've acted on stage, sung with a choir composed primarily of doctoral students in choral education, and in 3 months I'm traveling to New York to sing in Carnegie Hall with my Men's Glee Club.
Up to this point, my life has been managed to include time for art. Last semester, I have produced, as part of a choir, probably the greatest art of my life so far. Experienced the greatest blending of human spirit and voice to convey emotion to an audience. After I graduate, I must take more personal command of my art. I must actively seek challenges and growth for myself, else face stagnation.
HI! My hubski nom de plume is demure. I like to write stuff. And take pictures. And I play the piano sometimes. But an artist? I'm not ready to take on that label. Day job? SHAHAHAHHAHAHAHhahahahahahhahahnopeI'mstillinschool
I'm Rob. First and foremost I like to consume a vulgar amount of music, mostly punk and indie. This preoccupies a lot of my time. Along with this, I like to collect records and go to shows. I also consider myself an athlete. I'd like to complete a triathlon and a half marathon this year. I'm an MPA student, currently working as a graduate student within my program's department. I hope to work in the healthcare industry as a data analyst. I've also been meaning to start a sort of found music project. Basically I want to combine sounds from existing music and youtube videos into a cohesive work. As with most things, I'm dragging my ass on starting it.
