Hi skinny, how are you? This may sound weird, but it's very telling.
Back in '99 or 2000, I did a lot of looking on the web, trying to find where I wanted to be. I even d/l and tried a couple of 3D proggies. They were too hard for me, but that's ok, because, after seeing a few hundred 3D paintings, I decided that I hated the phony 3d look, and it would never sell. Actually, I wasn't thinking too much about that, anyway, just a place to fit in. I didn't have a clue, except, I knew what I liked (dosen't everyone?) So, I took some trembling steps in the direction I felt comfortabe with, standard pictures, of normal things.
