How did it all begin?

In 2006 I was introduced to a WWE Diva's forum as I was obsessed with WWE at the time! On this site alot of people were showcasing their GFX; signatures and avatars mostly. Eventually I was itching to make my own, people were constantly talking about 'PSP' so I had to find out what it was... searching through my step-dads mountain of discs I found a disc that said 'PSP6'. Of course I whacked it into the computer and began playing. The first designs were very simple, my cutting was awful and I colorized everything! Next somebody said something about brushes - me being the curious person I am had to learn about these - so after reading several tutorials I downloaded tons of brushes and began using them, one site I downloaded brushes from had some nice tutorials, this site was Swimchick.net. She taught me about using different layer & how this can help enhance the color etc. I was intrigued.

In 2007 I was asked to be an admin on (ex-WWE Diva) Christy Hemme's forum. Here I made most of the headers for the forum and created a weekly GFX challenge in which you had to designs things like T-shirts, Magazines, DVD covers, invitations etc... this is where my skills really developed. Here are a few things I made in 2007:




In November 2007 Christy became a umm... let's say un-nice person so I left but continued to work with PSP and make GFX. Early in 2008 I visited Swimchick again and her work amazed me so I gave it a shot at making my own brushes, then icons, then tutorials and so on. I wanted to share my work like she did so in March 08 I opened a free site with Bravenet then later on bought my own domain and thats it really!
