  • What year was that picture from in the begining?

  • please recommend me some music! :)

  • Clay modelling was murder, most of my efforts were like the one in Lionel Richie's "Hello" video, Cheers.

  • I so enjoy your stories. I loved the life drawing classes at university. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.

  • All the restrictions on the windows and at the door, so no one could peek ... but no blindfolding the students at live drawing? Now THAT'S inconsequential :-)!

  • Great as always.

  • Pram another new vocabulary word for me... you are truly amazing and you continue to capture my interest and make me smile and learn new things.

  • Up to this point I've only seen 13 videos from you. While interesting, I noticed you don't seem to get into politics all that much. Your channel said to ask if you want to know something. So I am.

  • oh, please do put up a picture of some of your art!

  • Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching and listening to them very much. One great lesson i have learned from your videos is that we should keep on learning, no matter what our age has reached. Then can our life continued to be filled with colours.

  • i plan on taking GSCE art, as over this weeks holidays i'm making the decisions that will determine my next two school years

  • Brilliant. Next please.

  • You have such fun stories and they are so addicting. It's 5 a.m. and I'm still trying to squeeze in one more.... Thank you for sharing!

  • ha..i can only image what your face was like when that guy dropped his robe! haha!

  • Hehe seems we were lucky in my life drawing class. The lady we had as a model was feminist with a crew cut and rings through here nose and lips and covered in tatoos. Not much to get excited about lol

  • I am fascinated by your love of art!

  • Humanity fascination with itself, is eternal and artists need to depict it. It comes with the territory, so to speak. You are also absolutely correct, that drawing humans is generaly perceived as much more difficult, that standstill, illustration, architectural art or even art of nature, although that comes close.

  • My mother (1919-1987) attended and finished the Fine Art University in Budapest, after the war and of course she continued her art, in art clubs beside being an art teacher. What you say is pretty standard and necessary fare in all artistic circles, establishments, educational institutions, which are serious about art. There is the portrait, but also the faithful depiction of human anatomy, at its various stages and forms. (Such as gender, general shape and agewise).

  • Well you can do longer videos now correct? Since you are a director now? WELL I HOPE SO. I HATE TIME LIMITS CUTTING YOU OFF

  • excellent

  • you're awesome!!!

  • Hi, love your videos and that's a cosy wallpaper! I wonder, have you made it your selfe?

    /Alex in Sweden

  • theres no need for this. Hes only telling storie of his life. If you dont like it then dont watch it but theres no need for name calling.

  • "old hag"

    Leave your mother out of this.

  • i like how watching from 1 to this one so far your skilld with movie maker has improve so much

  • Yes i know exactly what u mean,peters skill has improved so much since his first vids!!!

  • I did life drawing classes in college, and experienced much the same type of awkwardness as you describe during my first one. There was no way at all that the classes I took were 'erotic' in any way. It was all very professional, I think out of respect for the model. And your right, its very difficult to draw the human form! Thanks for sharing your story!

  • wives are always right

  • i love the way you pronunce the word human, here in the UK it's amazing the amount of regional accents we have for being such a small island!

  • Peter, you are just so cute...I especially enjoy when you laugh at your own stories and amuse yourself. You are just a living doll. Keep telling your stories.:) We love them. Patti from the U.S.

  • peter, i notice you have a cd rack behind your chair, would you care to dhare with us some of your musical interests?

    josh - west yorkshire

  • You have some amazing stories. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You always could fit in well with anyone. I would love to see some of your artwork.

  • you are a cool dude

  • I remember my first life drawing class. Not only was it embarressing but everyone was trying to hide the fact that they were embarressed.

    Everyone kept asking people next to them if they were alright and you had to try and reply without your voice going several notes higher than it would normally. *lol*

  • I remember the first time I experienced figure drawing. What a shock! Our model didn't show up, so the instructor decided to take it upon himself to pose for us. Show must go on, I suppose.

  • Being an art school student, I can understand the feeling of not being able to share the experience with my outside of school friends. No one seems to be interested, and yet design and art is seen in all popular entertainment from music to movies. People have grown accustomed to accept only finished products and not respect the process. Thank you for sharing your stories.

  • that life drawing of that naked man would be really awkared, wonder what the two girls were like.

  • Wish I had an oppourtunity to meet your wife. She sounds like a very wise person and a funny one too!

    Alice - USA

  • i realy injoy all of your storys

  • I think Gerry -27 has led a very interesting life and I enjoy hearing about it. He has a very soothing voice, and knows how to share a story and make it worth listening to!!!

  • Peter: Is the motorbike on your wall a special bike in your memory, or just for decor?

    Chris in North Carolina Wine Country

  • I loved this story.

  • I like how you give a preview of the next installment. This one was very funny.

  • Excellent job once again Peter.

  • great story!

  • good words. ;)

  • lol lv the comments on ere every1 just marfin at a old man most old ppl h8 youngsters ne ways so nt gna mek ne differance

  • You made me giggle...I am a nudist and have seen many many nekkid bodies. I agree however, the first time you see people in a non sexual position, you get an odd feeling that quickly passes. The nude human body in all it's shapes and forms, is a wonder to behold!

  • spoddie said: "obviously he only went to these classes to see naked women."

    If you replace "ONLY" by "ALSO" i might even agree with you. And what would be so bad about that?

    At what age do you think men should stop being interested in the beauty of women?

    btw, he said it made him feel "uncomfortable"...

    Why do I waste my time with you...listen to the old man and try to understand what he is saying. It sure is much deeper and profound than all the hate you and shane and others provide.

  • Didn't anyone listen to the song Peter used to go out on? The Great Pretender by the Platters, It was just too sad! Hope he knows he made a difference.

  • Papa Tube you make it sound like the model was hung like a mule. lol!!! Your a trip! Be cool

  • keep up the good work pete, ignore these petty bastards -excuse the language.

  • Im still listening fella

  • it`s wonderful to watch and listen.

    whaha great sense of humor!.

    i really like it.

  • I really hope that you ignore the rude comments. You are wonderful, and as always, I loved watching and listening to you!

  • man, you are great

  • I like the Music in the Beginning....

  • appreciating your videos as always. Please ignore the people who would post so much rudeness. much love

  • SHANE56777, you're a freakin' asshole, take the ride yourself and get off this planet you oxygen waster.

  • Go For It! Peter!

  • your an asshole shane

  • I like him, but they way he talks is kinda boring.

    He is sweet. He is Serious. He is not funny at all.

    If im listening him i like to go sleep.

  • YOU GO GRANPA !!!

  • Is he blind or something? Why does he keep his eyes shut?

  • A bit over the top :P lol

    I always last about 2 mins with these videos!...think thats pretty good :D

  • Monocle, what can I say?

    YOU'RE A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!

  • Out of all the things you could be doing...is this the most entertaining? Cmon people! How many hits has this got!

  • You are one of the best men in this short life i have seen. I hope you live a full life.

  • To all those Grandpa dissers out there, You'll be one, one day if your lucky. Think about it. Keep telling it all, for the kids that don't have one of us oldies in their lives. May the 4th be with you!

  • Nice, hope to be that fit in that age as well!

  • how high is he hahaahhaha lay of the pills grandfatha!!

  • what if the grandchildren stumbled upon their grandpa on yourtube?! i know i'd be freaked out...i don't get this grandpa on youtube technology using thing =/ but he seems nice...

  • Good for you grandpa! Keep going. :-)

  • Senseless shit? They are talking about their lives. I think you're getting mixed up - YOUR life is senseless shit. Have you been listening to what geriatric has been saying? He's lived one of the most interesting lives! So shut up.

  • keep on going

  • I like this nice older man

  • I know U say you do not respond....But will you please answer 1 question....why is this world doomed?

  • You talked to twenty thousand people today, all because they want to hear about your life, It really gives you some perspective and ability to reflect on your own.

  • Nice story.

    How come your video is 10mins 20secs without a directors account.

  • Legend :-)

  • Nice to hear your anecdote from university, I think that is really cool how you have continued to study new things later in life. It's so interesting to hear your stories! Love you and your videos Peter. :-)

  • I took art class years ago. Of course I was one of those guys who only did it because I thought we'd be looking at naked women.. well to be put it politely.. let's just what you see is what you get heh. Good show man. :)

  • Wonderful Peter. I've been using the internet since 1994 and I can honestly say this is probably the most interesting set of videos I've found in all that time!

    Please continue to leave us great tales of your life.

  • watching you has inspired me

    you are a true gent and have such a lot of iteresting things to say

    I cannot wait unitl the next instalement

    keep it up Pete

  • wow, i dnt wanna grow up! :(

  • been looking forward to seeing you again, thanks for a very interesting talk. take care

  • you a true gent, keep up the good work Peter. Loving the life story, keep up the good work. Cant wait for the next  installment!!! xxxxxxxx

  • Your vids have become little treats that i save until i can watch them properly, with a cup of tea and a biscuit.

    Looking forward to the next one.

  • Great stories Pete, delighted to hear them, can't wait for more,

    M.

  • I noticed the blush too! That was so cute. Good story. Love you still Peter!

  • Here's why I think his vlog is stunning:

    * He tells how he survived against the odds still faced by so many today.* He's does not moan, swear or blame others for the problems he had to face.* He cares more about other people than himself.

    I predict more vlogs from peeps who survived similar challenges. Or maybe rejection? Peer pressure? Drugs? Crime? Poverty? Dysfunctional family life? Broken heart?

    Does age or content matter as long as you vlog openly about things which changed your life?

  • you are wonderful!! i love how you were telling the story then.. oh my.. look at the time.. classic!! do your children know about this little adventure of yours?? if they what do they think of all the attention you have received?? what about your life today.. what do you do??

  • It's so refreshing that you can listen to the wisdom of our elders on the internet rather than be bombarded with porn and the like all of the time

  • It really is a pleasure to watch your video's

    I'm a Brit who has lived in Canada for the past 4 years and the sound of your voice reminds me of home,

    Keep up the good work, I look forward to your nexy video's

  • I think you are the best

  • Hello, we just wanted to let you know how much we look forward to your videos. Wyrdmaven is my husband and we have been watching since the beginning. Is there any chance of seeing some of your artwork? Thank you for sharing your life stories with the world, we look forward to the next one.

  • very funny story -- ty

  • You are a wonderful storyteller! Loved your stories - very amusing indeed!

    You remind me so much of Spencer Tracy! You really look alike.

  • I wish me that my Englisch would not so bad, because I want to understand what you search to tell us.

    I am a poor little german girl *cry*.

    But I search to understand you.

  • Nice one Peter/geriatric1927! It sounds like it was a hard but interesting subject to study.

  • Well done keep making these!.

  • Look at the camara when your speaking

    It looks like your reading from a script

  • geriatric1927 for prime minister

  • Hello again, Peter.

    I've always admired people who can draw the human figure, or faces. I have no ability for it at all.

    Nice to see you chuckling and looking more relaxed.

    Daniel

  • Cool vid. I've modeled for life drawings and as soon as I took off my gown all the girls started to gasp for air and some men did too cause of my erect penis.

  • I think you are fantastic... you have a way of talking that makes things interesting. You would make a excellent history teacher you know... =)

  • Superb petesyboy, seen everyone of your vids and brings a breath of fresh air to the day...have you ever modelled for life drawing?!

  • I enjoy all of your videos. Why did you go into the visual arts? Feelings, motivations here would be interesting to many. More examples please.

  • lol, ahh my most uncomfortable but favorite time in art class: life drawings.
