Hello! There, I've said what I said I would say.

Now I'll say what I didn't mention I would say, but was probably expected of me to say anyway.

I'm a late 20s gent from Wisconsin, a father and pizza delivery driver...I know, I know, what an amazing career choice. Believe me, it wasn't a choice, the choice was made when the economy crashed and my chosen career essentially vanished. Delivering pizza does afford one a variety of unique opportunities though, so I won't bash it terribly.

I am an amateur artist with rather basic GIMP experience (and Photoshop, as both are similar), and years of experience with a pen, pencil, and paper of varying grades. I've already uploaded a selection of things I've done, and will undoubtedly be uploading more in the near future.

I do a random commission here and there, but to be honest...art and I had a falling out for awhile, though now that I am back in love, I am trying to banish the cobwebs and recover the talent. My eventual goal is to either apprentice and then perform as a tattoo artist focusing on original works...or simply sell some flash art or something. Maybe a comic one day; who knows?

Until I figure it out, I welcome criticism and I look forward to meeting people and making friends, entering contests, the whole shebang.

Welcome. Get busy producing entries!

Hi and welcome.
Pxleyes will hopefully inspire you to "recover the talent".
Good luck in the contests.
