Woo, this is getting good! Can't wait to see what comes up next, both in the art department and in the sis-fighting front. Brilliant work, Grroosss and nobodyschild ! Those autumn leaves are something else. You two are very gifted, do your parents have artistic inclinations/talents?

Our mom went to school for architecture, though she ended up switching majors. I definitely didn’t inherit any architectural talent, I failed and had to redo every board drawing we did in our mandatory freshman tech class...oops. (To be fair, what kind of a person marks off points because they could kinda see lines that you erased? Not my fault erasers never seem to do their job...or that things rarely come out perfect the first time...) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's not my art in any way, so perhaps this is the wrong thread, but ... there's an interesting article on that other famous afro headed white guy from the '70s, Bob Ross his paintings are apparently worth millions, but just sitting in boxes in storage, I mean WTF? imagine if Jeff's songs had somehow been put into a vault never to be heard again after he shut down the band in 1986 they could start selling this art while people still know who Bob Ross is and fund some art school scholarships, or feed the poor, or .... something! anything would be better than waiting for it to burn up or grow mold or just be forgotten www.nytimes.com/2019/07/12/arts/bob-ross-paintings-mystery.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

if the ghost of Bob were to speak, he would point out that leaving the paintings in storage is exactly the kind of thing he would have wanted
it seems he got all the recognition he needed in his lifetime and wants to leave space for new artists be discovered
a very enlightened view, but I still feel it's a terrible waste having all that work just sit in boxes
is there only so much room for art in the world? or are the possibilities limitless?

Love his pillow, "No mistakes, happy accidents". I watched his show back in the day fascinated. And happy it's on Netflix for those nights when I can't sleep. I still think to myself that I'm going to try painting. Well, it's so obvious how easy it is!

Any visual artists here might be interested in this - www.youarethechampions.com/
To celebrate 'Bohemian Rhapsody' reaching a billion views on YouTube, Queen are making three new music videos. There are opportunities to appear in the videos for singers and musicians (performing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'), dancers (to perform a new dance for 'Don't Stop Me Now') and also for visual artists to illustrate the lyrics to “A Kind of Magic”.
Here's what the site says - Choose one word or phrase from the song's lyrics and design something personalized. Paint, draw, animate - whatever you'd like to do - then upload an image or movie of your work. If you'd prefer to create something for the instrumentals, animate a 5-second section that speaks to you. Get inspired!
I'm sure there are artists here who'd like their work to appear in a video watched by possibly millions of people!

Llama mia, llama mia, let me go... queenofthehours: I was planning on doing something with my brother-in-law but then I fell ill, as soon as I recovered he was given the news that he was going to be a father, then came the elections with very worrying results, too much stuff has been happening on this end so we really couldn't get together to do anything. Not that the world will be missing much anyway...

I would like to have tried submitting some artwork but unfortunately I can't draw! My artistic talents are limited to paint by numbers and that weird bubble writing that was once popular for children to doodle over school books. Llama mia, llama mia, let me go... queenofthehours : I was planning on doing something with my brother-in-law but then I fell ill, as soon as I recovered he was given the news that he was going to be a father, then came the elections with very worrying results, too much stuff has been happening on this end so we really couldn't get together to do anything. Not that the world will be missing much anyway... Congratulations to your brother, Helmut83 !
The world will be missing very much. But we should be asking the question, would the world have been ready?

Thanks, queenofthehours! I have no brother, just sisters. The one in the middle is the newly acquired wife of my brother-in-law (who is an accomplished musician), they got married in May and now she got pregnant. No, you are right: the world wouldn't have been ready for the impact of me covering Queen, I'm sure (in the same way they weren't ready for It The Clown's first appearence. )

There is no excuse for clowns on this website!
