Newgound MOOLA!!!

Finally got some money in my paypal account and am trying to invest in things that will help me in my goal to become a great graphic artist (hopefully recreate that graphic on pankpages.com which I try and do everyday). Just wondering the answering to the following questions:

- Should I join a stock photo website (ie. istockphoto.com)?
- If so, which one (which would be the best to join)?
- Any other websites I should join?
- Any books I should buy?
- Anything else I should buy?

I have about $143 in my paypal account so time to shop till the paypal balance drops!

Join AIGA http://aiga.com/

And network, access to great contact databases. Not sure if you are at the stage yet though.

Cheers,
Michael

How about some hosting, unless 'only on x-box' is actually your site.

I don't need to buy hosting, still got a lot of time left before my account expires. And of course that is my site, why wouldn't it be?

get a graphic tablet a intuos is suposed to be top of the line i have a graphite and it sux so dont get a graphite.

If you are really into this whole PS biz-naz then join NAPP (www.photoshopuser.com).

You can get great, free stock photos at www.sxc.hu

Don't buy books. Just visit websites and figure out what works.

This article is a must-read for you:

Maybe you need to look closely at your tablet. There is no such thing a graphite tablet. It's Graphire. A great tool.

Sheesh.

AIGA is nice.

jesus...! what is wrong with you! books are really handy man... buy some color theory books on amazon or something, design books really can make you a better designer.

Books about computers? Perposterous!

Heh.
