What to say... what to say. I've been a creative person all my life. As a wee child I used to make dollhouses out of cardboard boxes using the Sear's catalogue for decorations. (carpets, etc) I graduated to drawing with pencils in the 3rd grade and eventually to digital in the 90's. I really enjoy my "creative" time as it's such a huge part of me and there's nothing more satisfying and relaxing (not counting the render-rip out hair moments) to me than sitting here mucking around with pixels.
I'm also a collector of dolls and other vintage toys. I have a real love of vintage things period. My dolls range in price from two dollars to several hundred dollars. I do not discriminate, I just buy what I like.
While I am working, I watch/listen to old movies, too. I am fond of Noir flicks and the old thrillers and comedies. They just don't make them like they used to.
