"Art and literature are fundamental to the human experience. They allow people to express themselves and to connect to one another. All human cultures produce some form of art; it is a universal human cultural touchstone."
In fact book covers, brochures, book marks, flyers, post cards are created by the work of professional visual artists like myself. Some books are solely published using pictures. So, how can you say literature is separate from visual arts?
Weather in my hometown allows me to create digital art that reflects the weather.
