Well this is my first journal entree. Pretty sweet, I didn't join this site to talk though. However I didn't join this site to post art either but one late night session of web surfing and I stumbled upon you great people here at DA. From there I was inspired to download a few digi art programs. Like a pirated version of photoshop 2...in Belgen...I don't speak belgen. Im not from belg..a? belga, sweeden. I don't even know how to spell belgin (belgen?) so I dicided that you get what you pay for.

On the other hand I downloaded inkscape, which lead me to The Gimp. Now this program
(the gimp) is neato speedo! It has helped me learn a lot and I feel confident in shelling out the 350 dollars for CS4 (i'm a student)

My work to date has been...well I'm not terribly impressed with it. I think it's the
media I work in. I airbrush for a living and although some might say it's awesome, to do something you love there is really only one thing I can say. If you do what you love for work, you will start to hate it. I used to be a line cook and then a chef. I love to cook but when I worked for TGI Fridays and then a 4 star resteraunt and later NCL cruise lines i realized it sucked. Anyways I digress.

I bought a tablet, love it, and now I am going back to school for graphic arts.
My airbrushing now pays for my college so we will see where that takes me. All I can say to anyone who hates work is...Win the lotto.
