Speaker 1
I just got an email from a producer at work and he has arraned for me to do work in Hawaii so I will see if i agree with you on that front!
Speaker 2
It's a great place- especially for work! You will feel like you are on vacation. Make sure to check out some hiking spots. Do you have any activities in mind you'd like to do while visiting?
Speaker 1
I might try surfing, you said you did scuba, did you really like that? I'm not trying to get stung by anything down there lol
Speaker 2
Scuba diving is great there. The water is especially clear & there is more wildlife to admire. What's your favorite sea creature?
Speaker 1
It's got to be whales, I find the sounds they make so majestic and they can get so incredibly big. I'm hoping to get some photos of some! What was the coolest animal you saw there?
Speaker 2
Surprisingly I saw many octopus. They are hard to spot at first, but once you see one you see many. Also, you sometimes see eels. They look similar to my snakes. 
Speaker 1
Did seeing those eels remind you of your snakes back home? How big are they?
Speaker 2
Yeah definitely, they are about the same length as my snakes usually 1 to 2 feet. Have you ever worked with snakes?
Speaker 1
I have, they can both be beautiful and terrifying. It's wild seeing them just engulf a mouse whole
Speaker 2
That's something that you have to get used to watching haha. You mentioned your an artist, do you like drawing animals or do you have other muses?
Speaker 1
I mainly draw animals, but if a friend wants me to draw them I'd do it. It is always good to practice the human form
Speaker 2
Now that I am separated from my wife, I've had more time to enjoy art. I love drawing my snakes while listening to music.

Speaker 1
How long have you been certified to scuba dive?
Speaker 2
For about 8 years now. It was one of the first things I did when I was first stationed in Hawaii. Have you been diving before?
Speaker 1
Nope never but I am willing to try, but I want to pick up surfing first. Do you also surf?
Speaker 2
I tried a few times but couldn't get the hang of it.  I like the peace and tranquility of diving.  There's no sound other than the heart beat of the ocean. When will you be moving?
Speaker 1
At the end of this month. I am fully packed and counting days. That sound really peaceful. I might give me muse! Will you consider giving me a scuba diving lesson or two?
Speaker 2
Yeah, definitely.  I'm on a short deployment out to sea but I'll be back at the end of August. We can make a plan then. The water will be much warmer by then as well.
Speaker 1
Perfect! So how about your snake, who is taking care of it when you are on deployment?
Speaker 2
I make the junior Marines back on base take care of them when I'm gone. Luckily they only need to eat once or twice a month so it's not a huge burden.
Speaker 1
Yeah they are really laid back animals to look after. Maybe I can work with your snake and draw it to add my portfolio?
Speaker 2
Yeah, you might want to take a picture and use that as your main reference because they don't always stay still.lol
Speaker 1
Yeah that is what I do, no animal in general stands still and wait to be drawn. hahah. But I like to draw next to them, it gives me muse and more movement for the drawing.
Speaker 2
Sounds like a plan. Do you draw realism or do you like more cartoon style?

I am still active military. I had difficulty learning to surf. I prefer diving.
Speaker 1
How was your deployment? Are you glad to be back home?. 
Speaker 2
It was very exhilarating. I have to be honest, I miss the action. While I love free time, it gets quite lonely. Do you have any recommendations on how I can spend the time?
Speaker 1
You could always visit the beaches. They are beautiful. Maybe go for a dive since I know you like that.
Speaker 2
I used to do a lot of diving while I was deployed too. Reminds me of being back in action. Lately, I've been making paint designs on shoes and hats. Have you been working on any projects?
Speaker 1
I have been! I've been working on this great sea life drawing to promote this local company. I'm really happy with how it's coming along. What sort of designs have you been doing?
Speaker 2
That sounds great. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help promote. I have been painting a lot of designs based off my favourite rock bands. I love Led Zeppelin. Who do you listen to?
Speaker 1
Led Zeppelin is great, but I really like Metallica. Do you ever listen to them?
Speaker 2
Yes! I love them too. We should start a rock band together haha. Might help me pass the time. Just kidding but we should seriously go surfing sometime! I want to get the hang of it.
Speaker 1
Oh yes, I'd love to finally learn to surf! Maybe we can be surfing rockers ha ha. How hard do you think it will be to learn?
Speaker 2
Considering how bad I am at surfing, likely impossible for me. But I'll cheer you on. I can teach you diving as well while we're at it. If we dive deep enough, we might be able to see some distant whales.
Speaker 1
Oh I'd love to learn to dive and hopefully see some whales! What's your favorite thing about diving?
Speaker 2
Seeing the sea creatures for sure. It is so beautiful underwater. It's like a whole new world. There are so many coral structures and interesting species that you don't learn about in school. I'm sure you'll love the experience. We can get you a waterproof go-pro so you can record your experience.

I am learning to surf. I love sea creatures. I think it's beautiful underwater.
Speaker 1
I just finished the sea life drawing I've been working on.
Speaker 2
That's great! I'd love to see it. Have you submitted it to the local business you mentioned?
Speaker 1
I plan to call them tomorrow morning.  When I say I just finished I mean I JUST finished.  I'm exhausted but I'm too wired and excited to go to bed just yet.lol
Speaker 2
Wow! That must be some work! I didn't realize art can be exhausting. Are you excited to move to a new place?
Speaker 1
I'm excited for the change of scenery but I'm dreading packing.  I'm debating just paying someone to move for me.  I think it would make life less stressful.
Speaker 2
Yes, that's a good idea. Just be mindful of your trash can. My mom once hired a mover and they also packed the trash can with the contents in it. It was dreadful!
Speaker 1
Well that is something I never would have thought of.lol  I know a movers job is to move things but you would think a little common sense would kick in if only to save yourself from a bad review.
Speaker 2
I know, right?! Even today, the image is still vivid. Can I show you my drawings and ask for your professional opinion?
Speaker 1
Yeah of course.  What style are they?
Speaker 2
I mainly use charcoal and pencils. Now I'm nervous! haha! But don't be soft on me. I just want to hear from a professional's point of view. Do you have a website where I can see your work?
Speaker 1
I'm actually discussing details to have someone build me a fancy website to showcase and sell pieces.  I'll send you the link once it's all set.  And don't be nervous.  There's no right or wrong when it comes to art and it's always a work in progress regardless of who's making it.
Speaker 2
Thank goodness! Now I feel much better. haha. Have you thought of other professions beside being an artist?
