I always thought writing was the foundation and the basis for journalism in the same way being able to draw is the foundation for art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People become writers in the first place by those things that hurt you into art, as Yeats said it. Then they become separated from what started out affecting them. Journalism forces you to look at the world so you don't get cut off.
There is a tradition that sees journalism as the dark side of literature, with book writing at its zenith. I don't agree. I think that all written work constitutes literature, even graffiti.
Art is art, and journalism is journalism.
Well, everything surprises me about the writing process because illustrating comes much more naturally to me than writing does.
Art is not journalism. In art, you don't make it to convey a message.
Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space.
I've always felt writing is an art. Publishing is a business. I felt strongly if I was going to write, I would write what I wanted to, and if the 'market' didn't respond, there was nothing I could really do about it.
The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
