Do you read artist's thoughts?

I'm wondering how many of you are visiting DA not just for pictures but for thoughts & insights (a.k.a. knowledge) as well? It seems that way too many artists just put their images along with links to social networks & services without any insights or commentary. I myself always enjoy artbooks along with staff's comments and stories behind. It's interesting to look deeper into creators' mind, discovering how and why they did it.

I once did a painting of Louis Armstrong and if you look at it... well it's just Louis Armstrong with his trumpet. Nothing special. But prior to that I accidentally cut my drawing hand and had bandages all over it so I can't properly hold a stylus. But I painted the image anyway. You see, even such tiny insignificant bits add a human touch to your works.

So do you seek for artist's thoughts & insights or just browsing their works?
