Is that odd?
I also used to enjoy, and am just getting into again, creating computer art such as forum signatures etc.
I also play games, I used to play a major online game but found it was becoming too much of a time sink and no longer healthy for me. Nowadays I tend to play lighter ones, and non-real time ones.
