what do you do when you aren't 'being an artist?'

Bit of a change up journal as I'm legitimately curious, but we all have lives outside of drawing things, and we never really see those lives outside of Deviant Art at all.  All we see is the 'artist facade'.  Now most of you aren't drawing 24/7.  Heck, I'm certainly not, but let's ask that cool question.

What do you guys do when you're not drawing/animating/etc?

I'm not necessarily talking about work either.  I mean what do you do for entertainment that not many people know about here?

For instance:

  • I'm an avid longboarder, used to be very into snowboarding
  • I play a large amount of video games at the moment, including Minecraft, Starbound, Borderlands 2, etc.

stuff like that. 


It's all too often we all get caught up in the images that artists make for themselves here on deviantart rather than who the person really is behind the keyboard/drawings.  So, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourselves.  Bet you'll be surprised what you find out.

...Not related to drawing? Like painting, animation, 3D modeling, designing and so on? Because I do that stuff for work and school...


-I guess I play video games....

-I read and write a lot.

-And I played the piano during high school but kind of abandoned it and would like to practice again when I have the time.

-I was also going to the gym since a few weeks ago because I want to motivate my mom to go with me; she has a lot of health problems like diabetes and bad blood pressure and I don't want something bad to happen to her like with my older brother because I didn't care enough to help her.

-I love comedy. At one point I wanted to get into that rather than art but couldn't because I can't tell jokes for jack shit. I am not quick enough and don't do well in front of crowds.

-I also like to sing as a hobby, but don't do it in public for the same reason as the comedy comment.

-I go to church.

-I have dogs. I play with them a lot. However, my favorite hobby is when I clean the entire house because my dogs don't get a clue about not taking a crap indoors and I don't want to upset my landlord overlord. Currently I have 4 dogs and 1 cat. Ether my dogs are jerks or I just suck at taking care of my own pets.

Recently I've been attempting to take care of most of the stuff that my older brother used to do since he passed away. For instance he was our main source of income but I've been saving emergency money for, you know, emergencies. So far it's been working and will continue to work as long as I don't spend a dime from my life savings. I also wanted to learn how to cook because my brother always made dinner with my mom. I have the same habit of experimenting with making meals like he did so I guess it's a start. XD
