Here's One I Made Earlier... (Creative Arts thread)

; to be inspired, rather than discouraged, because I can improve to that extent too provided I keep trying and I don't give up during the many instances when I feel frustrated with my drawing ability. Anyway, I'll sh'up now. But please post arts - post all the arts!

Yeah, I'm just in a bit of a funk with regards to drawing right now, trying to change the way I draw a bit, isn't working out that well, but I should have more time to work on it over the holidays.

And thanks for the kind words about the song, people seem to like it, so that's inspiring me to neglect my drawing and make more music. Guess you can't have it all going for you at once!

My masterpiece :cool:

Or 10 minutes well spent at least..!






Yeah, I know the floor should be hoovered but whatever... We get lazy in college :P

This is so cool! Hats off to the best piece of procrastination I've ever seen!:cool::P

I don't often post here anymore, but I thought I'd share this with ye. Just wrote it there while I was thinking about somebody I'll been the source of a lot of trouble for.

I leave awkwardly each morning,
No kiss goodbye, no parting embrace,
Guilt overcoming my animal instincts,
A longing glance upon your face.

I never wanted to hurt you or lead you astray,
No malice in my intentions, despite the pain I've brought,
I tell myself I should stop, that I'll only hurt you again,
But lust always sweeps away such thoughts.

I am not wicked-minded, my hearts not made of stone,
Yet I could avoid such heartbreak and I simply won't,
Once more you'll cry and I'll walk away coldly,
Because you want me to love you and I don't.

Thanks IO, means a lot coming from C&H's resident poet!

Posted this in the Creative Writing forum but I thought I'd put i here as well...


They lie empty for much of the year,
But not yet abandoned,
Curious practices remain, tribal rituals persevere
Clung to in hope of something more,
Or in the face of our oldest fear,
Yet in Mays spate of first communions,
This spiritual remnant takes material forms,
A gilded display of hollow indulgence,
A bag of silver above the crown of thorns,
As few of the tribe now follow its creed
For good or for bad, they reject its demands,
Clinging to spiritual opiate they need,
The moral dictates of bishops,
Ignored in a society half-free,

Yet the tribe clings to its rituals,
A national legacy stubbornly defended,
Amidst the wrapping into Britain’s fold,
Religion and race linked tightly together,
The green, white and orange with the white and gold,
The way things are done, the way its always been,
A tribe in the grip of conformity’s hold,
Unlike those before me I can choose to dissent,
Exiled in spirit, but in body I remain,
And when I walk by churches
Or by the headstones grey,
I feel as though I trespass,
On the ancient tribes domain.

I don't do creative writing as such (I've an idea for a novel in my head but don't have the patience to execute it.) but one thing I like doing every so often is blogging, which is sorta like creative writing. I try and inject humour into stuff I write, though I have quite an odd sense of humour so I don't know how well it translates. Any feedback I've gotten has been (mostly) positive though.

Anyway here's a little piece I did right before the Euros (bit too long to post up so I'll just link it here): http://mynameismrsnrub.wordpress.com/2012/06/10/euro-2012-a-bluffers-guide/

Would love to keep going with it. Just need to figure out more stuff to write about.

I lol'd :pac: Nicely done. Also, I had that Championship Manager game from the Cheerios box too!

C'mon, you whippersnappers better start getting more creative, who's going to continue this thread's great tradition when I die in some kind of hilariously horrible fishing incident. Don't just sit around eating ice-cream off your bellies, do something! For example, I'm getting into .gif art, which is a thing.
