The thing that probably most compelled me to start doing graphics originally was boredom. I was out of work at the time and needed something to occupy my time. I’d had Paintshop Pro installed on my computer at the time for over a year and had never used it and decided it was high time I figured out how it worked. In addition, I thought that if I knew how to use, and the skills could be transferred over to Adobe Photoshop it would make me that much more marketable in my job search.Artist Monthly Feature - Archer and TPol

That was about 18 months ago. Now I’m happily employed and still doing graphics except now, I find it a form of relaxation. I often joke with people that you can tell how stressed out I am by the number of graphics I’ll produce at any one time. The higher my stress level, the more I’ll do.

I’m a fan of Scott Bakula and have been for a good period of time. As such, most of the graphics that I design involve him and the various works he’s done in some way, shape or form. To be perfectly honest, the man is easy on the eyes so it doesn’t hurt to look at all the pictures.

I’d say a good majority of the graphics that I do are made up solely of visual images. There are occasions, though, when pictures do beg for words. When that happens, I find myself turning to different quote sources on line to find that perfect line to compliment the theme of the graphic. More often than not, I find that I’m drawn to the works of “classing” writers like Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau, and TS Elliott as the words they wrote years in the past seem to resonate with the graphics I’m creating today.

Doing the graphic work is something that I’ve really come to love and I can foresee myself doing it for a long time to come.
