between working 40+hours a week, and going to Uni, hobbies are more or less a thing of the past for me :(

Used to enjoy a wee bit of guitar, and own an xbox which never sees the light of day these days either.And for someone who only "dabbles" in guitar, I seem to have ammased far too many. I have 5 or 6 now. including these two, which I use the most (excuse the fingerprints :o):

My Takamine Acoustic


My Ibanez RG


really need to get round to selling the Ibanez. it rarely comes out to play these days either...shame really.



sweet taki ..nice RG ...what would you want for it ?

heres a few of my other hobbies ....

me taking photos ...I do a lot of concert photography


A3 drawings made up of dots




2 of my guitars

ooft! a wee steve vai Ibanez there. nice!

Not sure really mate, I would take £400 for it. I paid almost £700 (and due to a mistake in the shop, ended up with a team J craft case and certificate from another guitar (mines is not a custom J craft model - just a prestige one which didnt come with a cert.)

The case alone is worth over £100 as you cant buy em on their own ;)

Little (c) or not, you can't just nick someones illustration and use it as your own avatar without the artists permission. It's copyright theft with or without the C

If you TOTALLY agree with Exup, including the bit about being a shit rider, then no, you can't use it!  :lol
Otherwise, feel free. I'm not likely to ever be trying to make a living from art, and frankly I'm flattered (or bemused by your poor judgement - not sure which yet!  :lol ).

Agressive inline skating i really like but havent done for years. :'(

That... sport...    I understand some Americans going for it - they're weird all right, but across the sea... without being forced to play it... can't uderstand. There's football, theres rugby if you like it rough, there's basketball, but noooo - "AMERICAN football". That and baseball are two sports I will never understand - or like.  It's played with a ball, but there are players who never touch the ball for the entire match. Figure that...     :rolleyes

As a resident of Coventry City I can tell you that's not unique to American football.  :D

Thanks. A couple more then. First two I did in Polperro on my coast walk. Old buildings I find make good sketching subjects - I like to look for different textures, old brick, tiles, wood frames and peeling plaster etc - adds interest.

yep i really like them nick - you're nowhere near me are you? oxford way. i've done a few of my home town, thame, but compared with yours they seem a bit mechanical, you seem to have caught something of the place.
