I like working closely with artists. I think that's very important in fantasy and science fiction - the visual aspect of the worlds and the characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.
I like messing around, and I like working with artists who I respect.
Generally my focus has been on people who make things, whether it's writers or directors or painters or musicians.
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
I started out as an artist, and what I do is verbal paintings. I paint a picture. Hopefully, you'll see the characters and what they're doing and what they're saying.
The relationship between art and a job is not quite linear, but I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid.
My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.
I love artists. I find them fascinating. To me, there really is a genuine magic in what they do.
Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.
From an artist's point of view, I always want to work with the writers I admire.
