I joined dA on October 6, 2009 when I became interested

I started out with Paint Shop Pro, moved on to GIMP and now
am using Photo Shop Elements ver 11.

I even compiled a tutorial:

It felt good to give back to a community
that has helped me branch out SO much
over the past 5 years.

HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY deviantART!
