I've had my tablet since May of 2003 - but I did'nt start working with it much until I re-found this site. I fonds ice.org a long while ago, lurked for a bit, then moved on to scour other pieces of the web. Recently having a creative craving I searched high & low and re-found tiles.ice.org. Since then I've been putting my tablet to work, I'm begining to get familiar with it and I'm really enjoying myself. I have zero 2D art background, in real-life I'm a sculptor in stone (+ programmer for a living).
I realized that creatively I need to having sketching and drawing ability - so I've begun taking life drawing classes in meat-space and doodling here on ice.org. Please be gentle ... !
