I wonder, as I slowly realize just how many people are pursuing paths similar to mine, and how many have already succeeded, and how many have yet to succeed, and how trendy the art world seems to be, does the world really need another artist or writer?
And then I realize that, yes, of course, the world needs many artists and many storytellers. The world doesn't get by on just one banker, after all, does it? Or one grocer or one auto mechanic or one pilot or one farmer or one architect?
About Me
- paintandink
- Virginia, United States
- Welcome! My name is Alison Murray Whittington. I am an artist and mapmaker currently living in the Tidewater area of Virginia with my husband in a wacky house built long before we were born. I have also worked as a television producer, a journalist and a bookseller, and I have also lived in Southern California, Nevada, Philadelphia, eastern Germany and the Czech Republic. I love bright colors, books of all sorts, quirky art, fairy tales, subtle jokes and artificial fruit flavors. I can be reached at paintandink at gmail dot com.
