Xmas Gifts for Artists?

[Gar]

My inner grammar nazi just stood to attention: The plural of 'medium' is 'media'

[scruffy]

 :P

[Gar]

That face! Why, I'll P your colon!

Wait, that came out wrong...

Gar hit the nail on the head with the very first suggestion.

I know you have probably already bought something for your artist, and likely shipped it... but yeah, a Nerf (tm) gun along with a target to shoot at would be ideal.  Something to provide a bit of fun distraction, but not so distracting as to stop him or her from working.  Great idea.

Artists, like any creative types, already have their preferred supplies and media.  Buying tools or supplies for an artist is like buying clothes for a friend, they'll smile and say thanks and then toss it in a corner because it's just not their style.  Simple fun is always good.

That is, unless this person has a wish-list of items you could shop from.  But if they did, you wouldn't be asking, right?

Considering I hang out with only artists I feel like there might be some projecting going on here, because my friends love to try out new things.

Yeah ok, I could be wrong. It's been known to happen... like, usually more often than being right.  I've only known a few artists, and they had their own style and ways of doing things.  Would I, as someone who does crappy art, like a gift of art tools from them?  Oh yes, most definitely.  Would they like a gift of art tools from me?  No.  They'd like a nerf gun.  Because I don't know art.

But heck, it's Christmas!  I'm sure any gift will be appreciated, even if it's just a smile and a handshake.  Merry Christmas everyone.

Well I ended up getting him something that I know he likes and is in to... but it has nothing to do with art. I'd tell you what I got him but he stops by here from time to time and I don't want him to see until he gets the package... which because I took so long he won't get until well after XMas. Bummer but ah well.

I did end up getting him a small amount of supplies for some things I know he needed and I'm sending him something that I used that I replaced with something better but he can use the old ones as they are perfect for... some of the things he makes.

Cryptic enough?

LOL.

Anyway, he's getting some good stuff for sure. Thanks for the help everyone. And have a great holiday... whatever you celebrate... even if it's nothing and all you get are a few days on the couch and some bad TV. Enjoy it.  ;)

It's after christmas now: Reveal to us your mystery!

(By which I mean what the present was, in case everyone's mind is as dirty as mine.)

[Rob]

I just got it... haven't sent it on to him yet... so you'll have to wait a few more days.  ;D
