I've been meanining to write out this story I have in my head, I've had it for years, about a sculptor with AS. If someone here engages in sculpting, I'd love to interview them. Failing that, a painter or sketcher could come in handy too, or anyone who engages in craft and tries to sell. BTW, I'm Greentea from the forums, not a newcomer just coming to ask questions

try reading "The Agony And The Ecstasy" by Irving Stone. it's about Michaelangelo Buonarotti (the one who did the Sistine Chapel etc), it's very long but a great read. the whole process of sculpting is very well described, I think you might find it useful.

Excellent tip, a-b - I'll look it up in my local library, thanks ! ! I read this book about Van Gogh, one of the best books I ever read and it did inspire some of my novel.

yeah I think Irving Stone's biographies are excellent. it just reads like the best fiction and the fact that these are true stories just makes it even better.

Great, I'll ask them! And I'm not really new, if you go to the Autism Discussion board you'll see I've been shamelessly stealing the limelight there for a year and a half already LOL

What kind of art does Lemon do?
