anyone dabbled in it before? oil or even acrylic?

two years ago i built a massive heavy-duty easel for her birthday since she wanted to get into painting, but she's never really touched it and it's sitting up in the arts and crafts room just taking up space. i got off work early tonight and on a whim went out to hobby lobby and bought some stretcher bars, a roll of canvas, and a stapler and built a 48" by 36" canvas on my kitchen floor.

i have no training or even a hint of dabbling in it, so if my painting sucks i'm going to call it neo-impressionism, or maybe post-abstract... maybe create a new genre entirely with no prior precedent or context so i will be free of criticism. my goal is to create esoteric, obscure pieces of art that only the upper echelons of the educated and societal members can appreciate. it will be fraught with pretentious meaning and subjective eloquence. i will explain away my utter lack of actual talent as an attempt to capture the esoteric through the blurred eyes of the primitive proletarian.

i'll post my first piece when it's finished. bidding will start the next day, $1,000 minimum, as the demand will surely far exceed the supply (which is one.)

weird, recently on a whim I went out and bought an exacto knife and some spray paint and have been making stencils, even though I am average at art it is a lot of fun. I recommend just enjoying yourself and make something you personally like.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
