Once asked by an interviewer what he wanted (besides his name) on his tombstone, Clive Barker replied 'Imaginer'. Imagination is the force that brings his work as a painter into being and the fuel that sustains the creative process.
Wait, wait, wait. The Clive Barker has a presence here? Though I would feel more appreciative to have an IRL meet at a convention, but this is nice seeing you here.
