What sort of artistic/creative type things do you all do these days?

I play a few instruments, practise martial arts, write occasionally, and if I get a couple cocktails in me I'm not a shabby vocalist.

That's so cool, I'm definitely not coordinated to do that.

I play several instrumetns. Many I can play "so-so" But I'm quite profficient on saxophone.

JAZZZZ That is where it's at, and I'm not talking no Kenny G crap. (Although he's talented, I'll give him that) but his soft jazz just ain't my cup'o tea.

So, jazz.... oh yeah.. I'm a jazz musician.

I'm not bad a painting/drawing when i'm in the mood. But I have to be listening to some good music to do anything good.
Oh, and I like photography a lot. I kind of have a flair for taking cool pictures.

Really? Alto, Tenor or Bari? And which one do you like better: Parker or Redman?

(Sarg has played the sax since 1st grade).

You know how it is, once you play one, you put enough concentration on embechure you can switch to any one. Alto is my main one though. But right now I'm playing bari in Wind Ensemble at college and soprano here and there. (I just need to get my hands on one)

Parker between the two, but I think my favorites are Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, and Sonny Rollins. Some of Dexter Gordon's stuff is really great too.

What are you playing? (kind of sax)

Whatever happens..happens.

Well I don't break it out much but I still have my alto. I'd switch between that and baritone in the highschool Wind Ensamble and Advanced Jazz Band. I loved the baritone but it's awfully bulky and expensive (too bad-the bari is a blast for Dizzy Gillespie).

These days I've accumulated quite a few instruments (I've got more instruments than my ex has pets, i.e. a lot). I'm rather fond of my new accoustic Martin, though I'm far from proffessional..

Martin Guitar. My sax is the rather common Yamaha proffessional model (with black-gold finish though

)

I do alot of writing, be it story or poem, and practice martial arts as well. Tae Kwon Do and Kendo to be specific. I also dance, and is a well guarded secret that I want to take ballet. I can read and write in two forms of Japanese and speak it on an intermediate level as well, if that counts as a talent. Im self taught as it wasnt offered in my highschool.

I sing and play percussion, and I can speak a bit of several languages besides English. I used to be pretty good on the piano, but I'm out of practice.

I play sax and clarinet fairly well, and used to play piano decently. Moony definately has me beat in general.

These are all of hummingbirds (duh) in California this summer, before adjusting of any balances or anything. I have a few better ones, but these are a good idea of them. I have some of other places out there too, but I'm too lazy to upload them right now.

Actually, these are pretty pixelated at that zoom, I will get better ones later that used optical zoom.

I'm a photographer who specializes in screwing around with images, which is to say that I can take the photo, but my time is better spent making it look good post-production and have a resume that can back that claim up. I prefer the photographing however even though I don't get to do it nearly enough these days.

Oh goody, a topic where I can whore myself! w00t!
Well... lets see... I play drums and a little bit of piano, I'm told I'm a good singer, I disagree! But m'eh.

I'm also a digital media designer/ digital artist for MIM. I'm currently signed onto an exclusive client for at least two years so I'll be making a good flow of money.

Link to folio.
What else...hhhmm... Oh, I like literature, I like to write a lot.

So yeah... that's it... boring eh?
