# About me
When I was a little lad I wanted very much to draw comic books. I was diverted into a"saleable skill": computers. But I have the last laugh. Now I am a starving computer artist.
I've been 'doin art stuff' for a few decades now. My gallery is a hodge-podge of everything and I'm sure it will continue to be. But there are a few common elements that tie my artwork together:
I'm trying to reach my potential in open source art programs. Trying to be the best GIMP, Inkscape, blender artist I can be. (Free and Open Software, YEAH!)
I realize that a lot of people enjoy the old story paradigm of "nearly naked woman is in deep distress until hulking heromale swoops in and does the rescue thing ", but that's not really what I'm into. I grew up surrounded by women and my current household is mostly women and I don't believe that women's solutions are any less valid or their heroism is any less needed/substantial. I often find the opposite is true. So my art goes in that direction.
I really don't like weapons. I tend not to make art that celebrates them. The real cluster bombs, land mines and projectile weapons doing very real harm to very real people around the world make me lose all desire to participate in an ad campaign for more of the same. It's not to say that I don't ever depict weapons, but I don't exalt them.
Over time my art will focus more and more on my own original characters. So far it doesn't, but my plan is to be busy doing my own characters.
I have been really enjoying the art on Deviant Art and I can find things that make me happy in most all of the art I see. In general I feel like people don't say their compliments out loud but their criticism comes through loud and clear so I try to be quick to compliment and slow to critique. If you received a random compliment or a llama from me, that's what that was all about. But I welcome critique on any/all of my art even if I end up disagreeing with it. I love to learn new things and hear different perspectives.
Thanks to everyone that watches me. I try to keep improving and come up with images, animations and graphics that are worth watching.
Thanks to all of the awesome Deviant Artists who are teaching me so much just by doing their art. And in particular
