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.

I'm so glad you found time to post, I've missed your artwork so much!! Jenni's Starlet is indeed a gorgeous and stunning character and you portray her so perfectly with your golden touch! Her outfit is fantastic and that hair is just crazy cool! She is certainly unbound and ready for vengeance! The setting, environment and background are superb and fits the context of the image wonderfully! All topped off with killer lighting that illuminates this stage superbly! I really love your style and I'm glad you got to play with your toys! Thanks for sharing, Melissa! Superb and creative artwork!!! V
