So I saw that [livejournal.com profile] foxipher posted a "People on my LJ reading list make and do interesting things!" post and let it work as a signal booster for ART!s and MUSIC!s and STUFF! And I took advantage of that and mentioned my things, so I thought I'd repeat it! Here are some of mine:

[livejournal.com profile] annathepiper is a writer! She has one fantasy series going and a second on the market. You can read excerpts here, at her official website.

[livejournal.com profile] gfish makes custom props, gadgets, and art installations! Check his official website, Attoparsec, here. He's also just posted a video of his current almost-complete project, Jacob's Ladder No. 1, over on his LJ.

[livejournal.com profile] lyonesse makes SCIENCE! and is working on another paper about BRAINS! She also teaches horseback riding (check the domain name, I <3 it) and has written poetry and a really good novel I hope gets picked up soon. And she's still writing music and has recordings from her old bands - see comments!

[livejournal.com profile] cafiorello also makes SCIENCE! She even has a book! "Most of my articles are about studying brains indirectly, but we just started a study using fMRI to look at brain changes after intervention for kids with ADHD!"

[livejournal.com profile] laputain is a musician in New Zealand, core of her band Vostok Lake, and has an album out!

[livejournal.com profile] filkertom is the world's only full-time professional filker! (As far as I know.) And has a zillion CDs and shows up on Dr. Demento and NPR and other random places, depending upon where and how people examine the inside of that box containing Mr. Schrodinger's cat.

[livejournal.com profile] seanan_mcguire is on her way to being awfully, awfully famous because of her books.

[livejournal.com profile] telophase is an artist! and sells prints! and reminds everyone that Mello hates you. She has also written a lot about manga.

[livejournal.com profile] ursulav is another artist! And a writer! And her Dragonbreath just earned out its advance and is paying royalties! Yay! You can look at her stuff at the Red Wombat Studio website.

[livejournal.com profile] wytwolf? Another artist! Go fig. Not as much for sale yet, but ... give it time that's enough time. She's doing commissions!

[livejournal.com profile] spazzkat has a webcomic! It's on hiatus at the moment but I hope it'll be back.

[livejournal.com profile] hsifyppah is a musician! Of banjo goodness. She writes short, snappy songs in quantity. You can read about and listen to them here, via BandCamp.

[livejournal.com profile] arjache has two! webcomics! They are Brain Comics and The Angels of Death.

[livejournal.com profile] nihilistic_kid writes short novels you really should be reading, including Under My Roof and Move Under Ground. He also edits at Haikasoru.

[livejournal.com profile] quen_elf takes a lot of good photographs and is also publisher of his own drum software, leafdrums, and the IRC client leafchat, which just issued a new release, version 2.3. Enjoy!

[livejournal.com profile] s00j is the indomitable S.J. Tucker, lead of Tricky Pixie with [livejournal.com profile] stealthcello and Alexander James Adams, playing this Norwescon along with Vixy and Tony, who are [livejournal.com profile] vixyish and [livejournal.com profile] tfabris, respectively. And [livejournal.com profile] saladofdoom occasionally releases his recipes into the wild on his LJ. For free!

[livejournal.com profile] daphne_lage makes the comics Tall Tails and Egoraven and many other arts! You should look at them.

[livejournal.com profile] sarakate, [livejournal.com profile] emmacrew, and [livejournal.com profile] kathrynt all design knitting patterns; Emma and Kathryn both have designs published in Homespun Handknit. [livejournal.com profile] sarakate's latest design is here. Sara's ravelry.com (requires free registration) link is here, Emma's and Kathryn's are above.

[livejournal.com profile] mamishka with her murals and her block prints and her movie reviews!

[livejournal.com profile] tereshkova2001's mom, who I haven't met, makes and sells steampunk jewelry over on Etsy (sans Regretsy. ^_^ )

[livejournal.com profile] maellenkleth is an organist - "Tonnes of Hot Metal!" - and is working on a CD of Bach.

[livejournal.com profile] pocketnaomi writes poetry and with [livejournal.com profile] cflute are two out of the three members of Tempered Glass, a new band! And [livejournal.com profile] cflute was half of Echo's Children, who had CDs available (and still does)!

[livejournal.com profile] skellington1 has "fine art and fun art," and is part of an occasionally-performing street performance group.

I know I've left people out. It's not on purpose, I'm just lame. Who else that I know should be on here?

aww, thanks for the mention! :)

i am revising the novel these (or some!) days. hardcopies with hand-decorated covers are presently available, though. umm, it's called Luna latrans and is about werewolves, technology, and chaos. anyone interested in "picking it up" (either for publication or just to read) should feel invited to get in touch.

umm, i also compose and play music, which is even more obscure, but can probably also be had if you ask :)

not currently in a band, though there are old recordings (unpublished but poss. negotiably available :) i'm still composing, always do. new more-ergonomic guitar's been in the shop for two months though which is why i'm not saying much about it :/

oh -- the ponies have a link though, www.omgponies.org. so does the brain stuff, but not my research, just my expert-witness biz (and the inevitable faculty page).

How about textiles? [livejournal.com profile] emmacrew and [livejournal.com profile] kathrynt and I all design knitting patterns; Emma and Kathryn both have designs published in Homespun Handknit (http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Homespun-Handknit-Projects/dp/1596681446%3FSubscriptionId%3D1YZR91QYB6WCG3PM78G2%26tag%3Dravelry-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1596681446). My latest design is here (http://community.livejournal.com/knitting/10324333.html). If people wanted to see more, they could check out ravelry.com (http://www.ravelry.com) (requires registration, but it's free) -- links for each of us are here: Emma (http://www.ravelry.com/designers/emma-crew), Kathryn (http://www.ravelry.com/designers/kathryn-tewson), me (http://www.ravelry.com/designers/sara-galley).

Whee, yay!

Kathryn and I also sing with the symphony, though that's more Large Group Creativity rather than Individual Stuff Creativity.

Thanks for the mention!

I'm actually working on a few commissions right now. I need to get my prices and contracts on my website :) Oh, and I fix computers, but that's not exactly art related. Hehe...

I write songs and poetry, and very occasionally fiction. And I've made two damned adorable children.

Not really, although there are occasions when they tempt me to reconsider. The poems and songs are, however.

Yep.

I make SCIENCE!

Most of my articles are about studying brains indirectly, but we just started a study using fMRI to look at brain changes after intervention for kids with ADHD!

heh! solarbird belongs to not one but two imaginary virtual-reality all-grrl bands, is working on a CD, has already made an EP, makes cool bamboo flutes and has helped others (including yours truly) figure out how to make cool bamboo flutes, plus she's a dab hand at cake-baking.

This is an AWESOME post. Will be returning on my lunch break to do the same for my contacts list.

And I don't actually know you, but I'm in a not-often-performing trio, street perform, and do graphic design and fine & fun art -- check www.skellingtonart.com.

Can't stop the signal. :)

I balance Checkbooks for Fandom! Really. I do treasury work for the Mythopoeic Society, Westercon 64, and Costumecon 26. Believe me, it is an Art! :D
Hey, someone has to do it. And I actually enjoy it most of the time.
