1. I work full time. Yup. I'm a full-fledged adult. Nope, the job isn't about art. I work at a bank. But in this economy, any job is a good one.
2. Along with art, I also write stories and do music. This leads to a little bit of schizophrenia, in the form of me neglecting one area almost entirely for months, while I focus on another one. Currently I favor writing, because it's the most portable (i.e. I can do it on my lunch breaks.)
3. If I ever write fanfic, I do NOT use the main characters. I come up with my own characters, and play around in the author's world for a while. I've never done anything else whilst writing fanfiction . . .
4. I cannot do fanart. For the life of me, I can-NOT do fanart. I even sit down and tell myself "I'm going to do a hip cubist version of Naruto with legs and arms bent in odd shapes and with those weird white-in-black-circles eyes." And I stare at my computer screen for a while . . . and I do something else.
5. My best ideas all seem to come in the middle of something else I was doing, or as a sideline from something else I was doing. I once wrote part of a song for a story that I was doing. The story went nowhere, but years later I went back and finished the song. Turned out really good.
6. "My Brain on Vacation" was supposed to be a postcard held in the lap of a girl with holes for eyes, sitting in an armchair. I even made a version of that picture. Then I decided it was too gruesome and complicated and just did the artwork you see now.
7. I can recite almost all the Incredibles introduction (the one with the superheroes in front of the bad camera) word for word. This is just how my brain works.
8. I can never choose "favorite" questions for password security, because I like such a variety of things, the answer I put down today would be invalid tomorrow
yeah
