Eric as a double major in Art (Ceramics) and Chemistry I have to disagree
with you here - there is a connection and it is the same type of
"creating" or "Creative Energy" that is used in both cases, at least for
me it was.  Always found it ammusing that my "art" friends where as scared
of "SCIENCE" as my " science" friends where afraid of "ART".
