I got into art during a bout of bad writer's block in 1999. I never thought I'd go this far with it, I've never had any training, just sort of learned as I went along. Now it's more important on a lot of levels than the writing. I'm finding images much more powerful for certain concepts, feelings, than words.

Anyway, for a lot of us particular, strange, creative types, it's Create Or Die. And I mean that literally! We have to do this or life has little structure or meaning. So we do it, with humor too, and put it out there. A lot of us do several art forms, or all of them. I also play the piano and do improvisations, albeit simple ones!

Those of you who belong to the Tribe of Create or Die, drop me a line, and those of you who enjoy this, do the same. I'm always happy to hear other people's stories.
