I was a painter before I was a writer, so I was always a visual artist. And my writing, to me, was always visual.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a visual artist primarily and a writer, even from a very young age.
I was always a visual person. I could see things visually. I had a harder time with numbers and logic, and I always had more of an artistic sensibility. So that I could do. And it was something that I really loved.
I like to stay artistic. So I always like to draw or write.
I love making up visual works of art in language. I get to be an artist without actually being an artist in that sense.
I'm a visual person - when I write, my input is always visual. I worked in television for several years.
I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.
I'm an artistic kind of person. I draw. I've drawn my whole life. When you have an imaginative mind, I think the artistic form manifests itself in different ways. When I was younger, I used to draw murals for people.
In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love art.
But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
I've always been a 'write first' artist: the drawings are always in service of the writing.
