| Introduction | I am an artist in the sense that I play music, write and do visual art, that I have had the impulse to create something from nothing as long as I have been conscious and that I can't live without doing so. I focused on music for a good 20 years and am now focusing more on writing and visual art (though music is still a really good friend). I hope you enjoy what I share. Wayne |
