Just wondering if anyone does other things besides code. Like art etc. I paint pictures, abstract expressionistic style. If you do paint, how do you sell your work?

Nope, all code for me... Nothing else... No hobbies... Uh, just ignore my signature :-D

I think most of us here do things other than code...at least I would hope so. I like to do landscaping and work on my cabin. Playing with the kids is a given.

Write, play and record music.

Lot of musicians around here, myself included. I've been getting more into comedy lately, though.

If you try too hard to sell your stuff, you won't. I was in the Chicago gallery scene for a little while and can say one thing, art is an incestuous industry. The only people successful at it now are socialites, born rich, or at least well connected. They have no problem selling their works to other little rich kids (or grownups).

Photography, here. Along with membership in a massively conspiratorial fraternal organization I also enjoy practicing the art of breeding.

My sister has a BFA in painting and does vaguely Kandinskyesque painting (probably not the best comparison, but her style is closer to his than Pollack's and that exhausts my knowlege of abstract painters). I'm not sure where she gets her occasional commissions from, but her primary income currently comes from childcare. :doh:

Primarily, I play and collect video games. I've also used the tools in games like ModNation Racers, Little Big Planet and Elder Scrolls to tinker with level design. And I occasionally write poetry and short fiction (very rarely, heh). Nothing published yet, but I recently bought a Kindle and have been playing with tools to self-publish my own stories. Currently, I use Sigil[^] to create an .epub file and then use calibre[^] to convert it to .mobi for the Kindle. As long as you don't get too fancy with the .css in the .epub, the conversion works pretty well. :-\ Flynn

Drama stuff, general DIY, programming, water polo and when other people dare to, talking to people.... :doh:

I've been fooling around with generative art.

Conspiratorial (per Discovery channel special on Secrets of Freemasonry, at least) - not maniacal.

I like your music, ravi. But you've only posted 2 pieces, I think you should post some more.

Please do so. As long as I get a copy and can post it. That's actually what most of that stuff is for. It was never meant to be standalone, except perhaps as background/ambient music for films and bubble baths. :-D
