A New Passion
Who says yuo can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Sunday, July 26, 2009 by skyzyk | Discussion: Community
I've always been intrigued by Art and Digital Art. I decided to finally do something with all the programs I installed and never really used (Photoshop, Corel PSP X2, Pint.Net, etc) because I never thought I could produce anything near the quality of what I was seeing here.
There's an old saying from where I come from. "Try It, You'll like it!" SO I did and I did like it. At 52 years young, I've found a new passion. I started submitting my works a little under three weeks ago and I already have over 1.200 downloads. WOW was I ever surprised by the acceptance and encouragement from some artists and skinners. It made me feel like a real part of the community andfor this I THANK ALL ARTISTS FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT, in my new found passion
Thanks to all and for those who would like to or want to give it a try I say "Go For It", or as Nike says, "Just Do It"! Ciao, skyzyk aka Gary
