I started messing around with making my own graphics in the summer of 1997 and then put them away to work on other projects. One day when I was cleaning out my floppies, I found some things I had made and decided to start a page. Through a lot of time, hard work, and studying, I've learned a lot - and I'm still learning. Using the right tools is important, so check out my software page. It also is beneficial to have several thousand hours of free time stashed away to learn how to use these tools.
Nothing is better than hands-on training.
If you're wondering how to get started, check out my links page for some great graphics and HTML tutorials. It varies from set to set. Some of them come together easily and others take quite a bit longer. I don't have a paint program. Yes, I will customize the coordinating buttons for my graphic sets for a small fee .
