Andy got mental about art. That is, thinking was an important step for him, in his process. He went far down that road.
Some artists don't do the mental thing so much. More of a conversation between just the hand and the beauty sense. Maybe a little mental, maybe no mental at all.
The non-mental approach is more fulfilling, imo. A better high and a better product. What beauty I can create in 5 minutes scribbling takes a year to almost-do the same in code.
(ok, the mental approach is pretty much just a big tease. It never really delivers. Lots of "neat" and "interesting" but it never really actually delivers the big punch. Sorry if that's harsh.)
All respect to Andy tho. And it's nice to know that he shared that particular path with us. I wonder if he ever dabbled in code.
