This one was called: We all gotta start somewhere.
I did it when my blog was still less than a month old, and I was just clearing a bunch of old pictures out of my Photoshop files.
———————————
I now am engaged in a quest to tie all these old pictures into my storyline so that I can once again get my Photoshop files down to a manageable level. Obviously I could skip these first, faltering artistic steps and make myself look better in the process, but where is the fun in that? Besides, one of my goals is to make those of you who are intimidated by Photoshop realize that there are no bad experiments as long as you are learning and having a little fun…
Just expose the inner artist inside you…
Get to the guts, the bones, of your artistic self…
Don’t be afraid to let your emotions show in your work…
You have to stand for something, and let your mind be free to shine like a beacon…
Feel the rhythm of your artistic heartbeat, and play along…
Take flight, and look at the world around you for ideas…
Step boldly forward into unknown artistic territory…
Take aim in new artistic directions…
You have to fight every day, sweat and bleed for your artistic advancement…
You need to establish your artistic identity…
And always remember… it’s not about the money…
Pouring My Art Out 
Ooooh, waiting for that letter… this should be good.
It always is
Photoshop can be a lot of fun. Sometimes I think the stuff that isn’t perfect (not that I’m saying your stuff isn’t perfect) is the best. It somehow seems a little more honest.
I can do stuff pretty well, but for the blog I tend to just sort of do it as well as it needs to be done.
Is that your artistic license in the picture before the last one?
I think all my stuff is my artistic license, isn’t it?
Hmmm… skeletons. Those must be the fragile things you wanted to pack.
one of them…
