I am not a professional artist. It is more of a advocation. I have to write for my income.

This is what I looked like back when I was a U of Michigan student and football fan. I am still a football fan, student...not so much.

You mean to tell us that you are not a friendly looking puppy?

I used to wonder what people look like, too, still do to some extent. I've had the great pleasure of actually meeting some SR friends, Have many friends here who are also friends on book of faces or via e-mail, so have gotten to see a lot of pictures

Not sure how to make this make sense, but I don't envision what people really look like as much as I visualize the feeling I get from them. It's often not a clear picture but a vision of colors and mood?

Some of my bestest friends on SR, and we've never met f2f. Hoping to remedy that at some point!

Good post that makes one think

Hugs and prayers,

If you had to make your living as an artist, may take the fun out!
Nice pic. I wouldn't venture to share pics from my college days in the student section at a game!

Correct:
-Hair color: kind of...darker brown hair as per Mother Nature but I have been cheating her since my teens, including now
-No glasses mostly right, I only wear them for distance
-Slender yes

So your crystal ball does know how to draw some things
Thanks

Okay art, how does your crystal ball see the brain?

I wish I would get a "feeling" from people before getting a visual. (I am speaking of interaction on the internet). I always get the visual first... don't know if that is good or bad. But, I definitely do NOT judge people by their appearance. That is beyond shallow.

I would like to make art a business in the sense of having it as a primary source of income...someday maybe

ArtFriend

I see you as an older gentleman with a beard or some facial hair. Gray. You are not balding. About 6 feet tall and generously proportioned. (hey, trying to be tactful here)

I always imagine the female posters looking like courtney love , just saying

ArtFriend

I am so sorry...just sayin'

ArtFriend, curious to get your crystal ball's view, see if you can keep your good record.

Wastinglife

I picture everyone as looking exactly like Sonny or Cher....

Let me end the suspense:

ArtFriend

Which one is you?

ArtFriend

OK... I see you as another slender person, tallish, very dark hair, no facial hair, no glasses

It just is. Your perception style. I am also the kind that also gets the feelings or abstract thoughts first before visuals. Pretty strongly. Like, an overall, not detail-oriented (initially) but general feel about the person's thought processes, how their minds work. Also, my perception somehow always scans for similarities in perception and thinking style... not even consciously and it's automatic. Throw me in a crowd of strangers and soon enough I'll pick out the few I perceive as "thinkalikes", for some reason. Then if I have a chance to interact with them more, usually discover the differences later. But first always looking for what's familiar automatically. I am sure I'm not alone with this.

When I imagine visuals, very often for me they are the visual projection of the feelings I get first.

Trach - before and after getting sober? Which is which?

Mark1014

Wow, you're good. Black hair (except for the silver trying to sneak in over my ears!)6ft. 174...but would be skinnier if didn't work out like a mad man. LASIK took care of the glasses. Have never grown a beard...gets too scratchy.

Nice pic, must have been at the Rose Bowl??
