When Vik was young, his grandmother taught him how to read. The downside was he was taught how she was taught, and that was reading words instead of syllables. This made learning how to write difficult for Muniz. Instead of expressing himself though words, he expressed himself through drawings.
"Drawing is not only a way to come up with pictures, drawing is a way to educate your eye to understand the visual information."
Vik didn't want to be an artist in the first place. He tried other jobs in different fields of work but failed. He saw the art field as kind to those who fail, as long as you use your failures for something else.
