I need to spend time drawing and painting everyday. Its important to me to express these ideas that I have, and although I can write about some of these things I find that the ideas usually want to develop through form and figure as opposed to anything I can get out literally. I do like to write letters and often my sketchbook is filled with letters and illustrations to friends and family, so its safe to say there is a lot of literature in my work. I am, however not a big fan of critical anaylisis by an artist regrading thier work. It seems to me that the trend of artist straying from their palettes towards thier typewriters is a front to painting and illustration in general.
I think a successful painting or illustration communicates to my viewer the ideas thoughts and emotions that I had, and it must be able to do so by its own visual content.
