Charm, I know exactly what you are saying, I know I am not really old enough to understand most of the controversal issues, which is why I back off. I hate those kids who are 14-16 and bust into the thread thinking they know what the politics should do and everything, because most of the time they don't even make sense. :p

Trained as a photographic retouch artist (pretty much non digital). Branched out into web design, but for the last 10 years have been more interested in illustrating (not a fat lot of sucess).

If I could earn a fat wedge doing retouching, I would. Its just that the time required, outweighs the income gained.

Geez* 32 (if I can remember) was a musician and audio/mastering engineer, got into graphic design cause it seemed pretty cool .... Now since I am an illegal immigrant in Canada I freelance out doing web dev and nifty things like that. and I get that urge to pick up my guitar or play my pakuaj sometimes.
