My previous comment relates to artists collaborating as equals, rather than in a teacher-student relationship. I have heard of people team-writing novels as well. The relationship between writing and painting is interesting to think about. A good discussion was held on this topic recently on the blog <a HREF="http://makingamark.blogspot.com/2006/04/is-creating-art-like-writing-book.html" rel="nofollow">Making a Mark</A> This is an interesting example of people working together in a meaningful way.

The well-known novelist said that he had too many ideas for novels to follows them all. The unknown writer has profited from this association by now having his own book contracts as well. This reminds me of a scientist-graduate relationship or an artist-assistant relationship in the past.

The painting I show on my home-page is a collaborative work with <a HREF="http://www.the-homunculus.nl/hanneke3gingerpots.html" rel="nofollow">Hanneke van Oosterhout</A>. This collaborative approach breaks with the normal modern concept of the artist-as-loner. I'm happy with this. I hope to do more collaborative work in the future. I think this is an important part of artists communicating with one another at a meaningful level.
