Between start-ups I paint. I find a lot of similarities between creating software and art.

JFK Jr at President Kennedy's saluting "Black Jack" at his father's funeral.

When I am not working on my software start-up I like to paint and create large wood-fired ceramic scultptures.  I am a self-taught artist.  This is an example of one of my pieces.   Its a large (8 foot by 4 foot) acrylic painting on plywood.

I find there are a lot of the same creative processes used when creating software or art.

Below is another large piece.  Its 8 feet by 3 feet acrylic/pastel painting on artist canvas.   Many times I have a general idea of what I want to create and then just go at it.   In this piece I tried to sketch a large vessel I was working on.  It totally changed into something else during it's creation.

Here is one of the best articles on art and software by Paul Graham.
