An AVATAR may not be much of a start, but wanted to at least do that. I have done little drawing since my wife retired from teaching in 1990 and then only as an engineer using Bentley Microstation until I retired in 2003. I have since been trying to get back some kind of inspiration, but the struggle has been slow. Seeing the Renderosity Members' work is encouraging but also frustrating at times, because they are all so good. As somebody said aeons ago, "Don't give up the ship!" I'll just have to keep that thought in mind and have patience in myself as I keep telling my grandson when he is frustrated with his elementary school homework.

mpvivar is the closest I could get to my name in Spanish, including confirmation name:

     m=Martin
     p=Shepard=Pastor
     vivar=Warren=Vivar

Actual first name is Craig, but the closest equivalent is Pena (Pe-nya) and that is a surname in Spanish. Enough rambling for now. Who knows when the next step will come? Thanks for putting up with this.
