Shoe Drop

I've always been artsy. when I was in school that fact made itself most manifest in the things I wrote and drew.

In 2003 or somewhere there about years of battling failing sight had rendered me legally blind (20-1500).

In the space between 03' and 05' the word's work stayed, but I stopped drawing altogether..

Science however has a way of catching up with you, and through the ever advancing field of optics something close to normal sight was restored to me with correction (20-40).

Over the years since that number has refined down to 20-20 in both eyes... I began to doodle again, and for a few years that was all I did, afraid that there was a step in that time without that had been lost to me -- nervous that I wouldn't have anything but distant glimpses of the ability I had at the tail end of High School...

Frustration and the constant urgings of those close to me has brought me back... I'm trying to do a finished piece every other week.

I distrust the return in a lot of ways, so I'm not making any real investments into technology until I'm sure I have something here -- that means all my art is fairly low budget.

The process starts on a white board in dry erase marker, it's then captured on my camera phone and transferred into MSpaint.

It's not perfect, but it's all I've got...
