As far as writing goes, I basically write anything that comes to mind. I love to play my guitar and come up with songs, although more often than not I am not pleased with the ones I do come up with.
To see some drawings I've done, go to www.animex.com, hover the mouse over community, click fan art, click browse artists, then click Arutha (that's me ;P)
