Me personally, I've been posting less lately, and that's because Vue has increased my self-confidence and desire to do art to the point that I'm now attempting matte painting, and I want to go into Visual FX when I finish teaching English in Japan.  If you had told me 3 years ago that I'd quit my job in database marketing, fall in love with art and go to film school, I'd have told you that you were completely insane....and I feel like I owe much of it to Vue and to this community.
