# About me
Although in many ways I am an artist at heart, my skills as a more traditional "artist" tend to be kind of low and limited. Sometimes I come up with something nice, or good, occasionally somewhat better than that. I have increased my digital art ability quite a bit over the last several years, and am better at that than other non-digital mediums.I used to use Paint Shop Pro, for years, from version 2 or so to X4, but then it was sold to Corel and they kind of messed it up.
So I finally moved to PhotoShop Elements, version 7 or so, and am now using version 10. I have become somewhat proficient in its use, for the things I do, anyway. Full PhotoShop would be overkill for me, plus it's too expensive.
What I like most is exercising and expanding and strengthening and portraying my creativity, which I am much more proficient at than other 'art' areas, and am able to use it in a variety of other areas, as well, including computer programming, writing, etc.
So I engage my creativity for whatever project I am interested in doing and then attempt to create the final artistic result as well as possible to get what I first envisioned.
It's one of my small hobbies. And I think I am good enough at it now that I am fairly satisfied with what I am able to do, most of the time. I wish I had worked on my art more since I was young, because I would probably be much better at it now it than I am. But I took a more science-oriented path, finally coming back to art. Better late than never. I do wish I could draw and create things like the really good artists do, but, unfortunately, I will most probably never achieve that level of ability. Which is okay. Maybe next time around.
I particularly enjoy making web images, at which I have become somewhat proficient, in execution and content, if not always artistry and imagery.

Are you fucking proud of yourself? You've insulted both genders in one post. Yours by implying that being a sexist asshole is funny somehow, and also implying that anyone that anyone that doesn't agree with you is a dumbass; mine in, well, every way. Good job; you're insensitive and emotionless. Congratulations, you're so fucking bullshitty that you can't realize that enough is enough. Great fucking work, PopeyeTheoBitch.

You are obviously some type of hyper-irrational ignorant, so go fuck yourself.

let me guess you say "systematically oppressed minority" all the time don't you

Never used that phrase once.
People like you are usually and obviously too clueless and/or uncaring
to understand three big words strung together like that, so I try
to keep it simple so you can comprehend what's being said in the
hope that it may one day click and make enough sense to your
feckless sensibilities and emaciated minds and souls.
If you weren't so extremely lacking in simple compassion, empathy,
and common decency, you wouldn't have to struggle so hard.

I like the costuming and photos you have.
So I figured there would probably be more as time goes by.

I hate de/motivational stuff... but I feature people from my watched/watching lists each week or so - and I don't let my personal art prefs get in the way.
So, I start going through your gallery - and the most amazing thing happened - I started laughing...
You're good at this kind of art, good enough to turn a "must do" feature into a "enjoy doing" feature and you're one of my featured artists the next week or so.

Thanks and thanks.
It's obviously not "high art", although every once-in-awhile I do something that tends to stand out,
even if it's more of a content / concept issue than an actual art issue, the latter at which I'm weak.
I do like to laugh, and I enjoy humor, and I can sometimes be funny, so it's good when my minimal
digital art talents and other talents combine to make something someone enjoys.
It's always nice to get positive / appreciative comments or see someone favorite something, etc.
(sometimes I do things "for myself", but like most people, I usually do things for "everyone" to "enjoy",
and some things are to inform, make aware, educate, make a point, etc...)
I also find doing "digital art" being very relaxing and de-stressing and calming, etc.
As well as a creative outlet of a few forms.
I'm obviously a fan of your stuff since I'm watching you.
I'm pretty discriminating in my Watches.
I'm also not the most social person and don't do a lot of the "social media"-like stuff that you can do here.
So I hope no one takes offense.
Keep up the good work with your stuff.
People like you also encourage me to try to be a better artist proper.

I am watching you now as well.Β I used to return watches, but it got too hard to follow so many people.Β But your gallery provided tension relief on a day that screamed for it.Β Sorry I hadn't stopped in sooner.
