BIOI have spent my entire adult working life in manufacturing of some kind. I spent 3 or 4 years cutting stained glass for windows, lamps, pictures etc. Loved it, but the pay forced me to move on to better things. I worked for 9 years in the microchip manufacturing business. It was the most interesting work I have ever done. Very high tech. I managed to get a Bachelors Degree in between all that. I now work in the airbag industry where we make inflators for airbags. I was a Process Coordinator in charge of one of the production areas. I worked there for 24 years. I found my creative side several years ago. I started out creating 3D environments for a program that allowed me to create my own active desktops. I also created several of my own moving lensflares for the same program. I decided to start creating some of my own images for my active desktops and got involved in creating with Photoshop, UF, Chaoscope, Apophysis, 3ds Max etc. That is how I ended up here. I am now dipping my toes into the AI world. So much fun! I really appreciate the acceptance of myself and my work. I have a long way to go to truly fit in with so many wonderful artists, but I feel I can learn a lot from all of you. Cheers....
