The lifetime commitment to art.

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. Starting as a visual artist, I scribbled out little pictures as a young child with whatever passion a young person can muster, before eventually finding music toward the end of my elementary school days. Somewhere in junior high school I even developed an interest in creative writing, mostly poetic in form, and by the end of high school I added story writing, mechanical drafting, and music writing to the list. And something that doesn't traditionally get recognized as an art, which I am not entirely sure qualifies, would be my inclination for invention and problem solving. It can definitely feel like art so that is what qualifies it to me. And this list certainly isn't exhaustive of my artistic endeavors... each one gaining a greater share of my attention from time to time, I realize that I will basically never let any one of them die completely. Sure the interest might become dormant for an unusually long span of time(mechanical drafting comes to mind here) but I know that if/when the opportunity arises in the future I will be quite enthusiastic to jump right back in for a dose of the fun again. And I will likely do this until the day I die. Because this is who I am. I am an artist.
