I've loved art since I was a little kid. I've always found ways to express my creativity be it drawing, or doing crafts. I got my first computer early in 2000 and not long after found my way to Paint Shop Pro. The first time I made something in PSP I was hooked on digital art. Early last year I found myself "uninspired" when it came to PSP and realized that while I loved it, I felt limited and at the end of the road. Some years back someone mentioned Poser to me and felt that I would love it. However, something always took priority and I never got the program. Last year when I found myself uninspired with PSP, I looked into Poser but it was out of my financial range by then. I saved and finally got the program in May or June last year. I hated it for the first 6 months because it was nothing but a lesson in frustration due to the lack of total newbie friendly tutorials that take you literally step-by-step through each and every action. I uninstalled and installed the program dozens of times between the time I got it and the fall. Finally someone at DAZ noticed my total frustration with it and took me under his wing and walked me through doing my first scene in Poser. That was all I needed...someone to literally hold my hand and verbally walk me through doing things step-by-step. I still have tons to learn and basically play "dress up barbie" but I'm learning slowly and am liking Poser a whole lot more these days. I dabble in commercial ventures, but not on a serious basis. It's mostly just a hobby for me :) My friends tell me that I should stop giving away my art and start charging on a consecutive basis, but I love creating so much, I feel guilty taking people's money for something I had such fun creating. Besides that, I suck at putting prices on things, LOL

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
