High off Paint Fumes and Artist!Justin [Jan. 31st, 2009|11:29 am]

Artist!Justin is a huge love of mine. I melt into those fics where the writers do an amazing job of describing his process or pieces. It makes me so happy when I can almost smell the paint fumes, see the colors, itch to go grab a brush myself. On the other hand, bad descriptions of his stuff pull me right out of the story.

So after musing with [info]notreallyme10 about Artist!Justin this morning, I have a question for all you artist types...
Well, actually for everyone.

Justin excels at painting, drawing, even graphic design. Is it common for artists to excel across different mediums? I like to paint, but couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag.

So, obviously I need to take a poll:

Poll #3124 The amazing talents of Artist!Justin
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Is it common for artists to excel in various mediums?

Excuse me? Did you not pay attention in art history? That is very common.

No, while they may dabble in other areas, most artists do one thing really, really well.
2 (6.5%)

Pffft. Stop projecting your own lack of talent onto poor Justin
2 (6.5%)

Silly [info]outlander, Justin wins at everything. Of course this includes all art forms.
27 (87.1%)



While I know what the overwhelming answer will be *snort* I really am curious about this.

And if you wanna rec any good Artist!Justin fics, my Saturday morning kink, I would smackle you madly.
