It was one of my favorite subjects, and I even did extra classes. But these were technical sessions and offered very little creative flexibility; I quit often. To scratch the itch I turned to art on my own time: http://malsatas.deviantart.com/.

Recently I’ve understood that I like “doing art” because I enjoy creating and telling stories. I like building flavorful worlds and presenting compellling characters. I like the idea of reaching into people with stories. I’ve since changed how I approach art and have projects that I’m excited to work on. Hopefully they will grow into games or webcomics. The pipe dream is to build public, interactive art.
