What Are Your Other Creative Interests?

#66
Main hobby: Boobs

And my other hobbies:

Well, I'm really into modding/repairing/customizing guitars (not only basses). I like to work with this stuff pretty much. Got now 21 guitars, most of them needs some repairings, paintings etc.
Another thing - teach young hungry rookie guitarists (mostly absolute beginners with no cash). Showing them that guitar doesnt have to be expensive, and even with a little spare money they can start to play. Also some tips, some techniques etc. - I even wrote a guide for beginner acoustic players.
Except the bass I play guitar (or at least try to). Got also other instruments - dad's tambourine, harmonicas (12 blues with all tonations, spare blues C, and large D), also I'm a spoon player.
Also listening to music at general. By some time I was called "a walking encyclopedia" even tough there are still many bands that I havent heard of :P
Non instrumental and musical - played basketball by some time due to my height, now only attending a gym. A good movie is always good. And my biggest hobby - COOKING. I like to experiment at kitchen, make new dishes, and eat them as well. Which equals my actual weight :P Anyway I only cook some serious dishes, when I dont eat alone. I also like to make some houseworks, because at this moment I'm the only person who doesnt have two left hands. When I can do nothing from the following list, I'm reading books, or just playing games - board, card or computer

Cool thread and lots of very creative humans on the world's best forum.

I also play guitar, drums and sing. I'm a mad ( I do a lot of ) writer of humor, poetry, lyrics and music.

I color, cut and create styles for young men and women, it's really creative the way I do it (I tell them what to do, otherwise the job would suck being someone's hair monkey) I was blessed to train with some of the top industry professionals otherwise I couldn't do that. (I'm what many of you youngsters would call old now, 50!)

I consult businesses to boost/rebuild their businesses, which is creative problem solving and only with companies that pay upfront, that took some creativity?!(I help them find hidden income in what they already have, pretty easy really) I help them define/ refine: their vision, their business plan if they don't have one( they usually don't), their critical drivers, marketing retention and growth etc. and most importantly implementation of everything and then revaluation/refinement for sustainable growth.

For a while I would open, build and sell businesses, creative but so tiring...

But the most creative thing that I do, the older I get, is trying to pee in a single stream when I wake up in the morning!!

cooking

Not to toot my own tooteroo, but I've always been pretty good at it and as of late have been experimenting with different spices, herbs and ingredients and I've been knocking it out of the park more often than not

rollerskating; coming up with cool routines

imitations. I do a mean LA street guy from the 90s, stoner, Mike Singletary, and my in-laws :D

Cooking, Graphics Design, Animation.

I have a bit of stuff in the Got Art thread, paintings, wood and found object sculptures, and ceramic sculpture and tile.

Here's a recent piece I made for our FCPS 6th Grade All-County Choral Festival.

And here's a new Photoshop piece.

I like to write poetry. You'd think it'd overlap with the lyric side of songwriting, but I've found that just sets one up for writing like a melodramatic teenager.

I also keep fish. That doesn't sound too creative, but I feng shui the hell out of that tank on a regular basis and actively garden the plants.

I hunt duck and turkey mostly. I enjoy simply shooting guns as well. I like reading history books, historical fiction, classic literature, and band biographies. I play guitar, some keyboard and drums as well (but I don't get to mess around with friends much, I'm a lefty and no one wants to accommodate a left handed drummer!) I collect some old vinyl, mostly just bands I'm interested in.
