Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now been shaped by my writing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.
I always thought I was going to be an artist. All I ever did was draw. I only ever turned to writing because I couldn't find somebody to write the kind of stuff I wanted to do. That just spiraled out of control.
In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love art.
I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.
I have been drawing all my life.
I felt the need to get back to painting and I thought the best way was to start drawing, so I enrolled in a life drawing class. I soon discovered that people made very interesting subjects and I am still surprised that I had never discovered it before.
For me, drawing is a question of death and life. Every day I draw, I write, I do something.
Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making.
I'm pretty terrible at writing, so the way I kind of therapeutically get through things is by drawing.
I like to stay artistic. So I always like to draw or write.
