Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life not an evil.
I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination.
In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys games and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.
My true function within a society which embraces all of us is to continue an age-old tradition. This tradition is to create images from the depths of the imagination and to give them form whether visual intellectual or musical.
Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.
At the School of Visual Arts in New York you can get your degree in Net art which is really a fantastic way of thinking of theater in new ways.
As children as we learn what things are we are slowly learning to dismiss them visually. As adults entirely submerged in words and concepts we spend almost all of our time thinking and worrying about the past and the future hardly ever looking at or engaging with the world visually.
The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.
Habitual texters may not only cheat their existing relationships they can also limit their ability to form future ones since they don't get to practice the art of interpreting nonverbal visual cues.
What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book I was not thinking about publishing and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books I see them very visually.

It has been said that 80% of what people learn is visual.
When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists' dreams out and changing music in a visual way there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream but there was a lot of insecurity there.
Different people have different styles but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision and everything can be obsessed over.
Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design more visually driven.
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.
