I partly I agree with this. During a big bang season, for example, with four epics posted a day, I might wind up viewing all the artwork but only reading 10% of the fic, precisely because the artwork takes a second and the fic takes way too long.
However, I'm not terribly into the visual arts in general, so I'm not sure I've ever opened an artist's page just to see what else she might have drawn.
Now, when I read fanfic, most of the time I'm not just in a fanfic mood but in a fandom specific mood, to the point that I will ignore an interesting new fic by an author I enjoy just because I'm not into that fandom this week. When an author is really good AND writes exactly the plots I'm into, I have been know to browse her page until I wander into other fandoms or original works, but not often.
