I wanted to let everyone know that I've decided to change nickname to my real name. I will no longer be going by FastTraxx as I have for the last 5 years. Thanks Ken

LOL. Knowbody's going to know who you are FT ;-) People get used to seeing the name for years. And it's hard for them to associate you with a different one. ScottA (a.k.a. IAMSBA)

Ken, what prompted the change? When i signed on with Renderosity this past fall, i contemplated using a handle, but decided that since i do commercial work in my own name already, it was better marketing to be recognizably myself. Then again, i'm not a legendary model-maker. :^D

The same reason you decided to go with your own name, profesional reasons, I've just been using the nickname for the last 5 years before I ever started doing professional work. I want to start being known for me, instead of my nickname. Hopefully this will turn out to be the right decision for me.

Well, Ken, sweetie, you just go ahead and be whoever you want to be. But is it ok if I continue to be Kate, cuz she's a heck of a lot more interesting than Diana is. ;-) Kate
