I have been painting since I was able to hold a brush. I had my first real instruction in art at age 6 and grew from there. I continued drawing and painting all through school and pursued art in college. I ended up with a BFS in graphic design.
I am a pretty normal guy. I'm married, live in a nice little neighborhood and have a Monday through Friday job that pays the bills.
The internet is great, it could be a shining sea of information and a receptacle of unlimited knowledge for those seeking wisdom, but mostly it's junk like this.
