hey, so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I grew up in Southern California. My home town break was Manhattan Beach. Spent many years in the water there. Really miss it. I'd go out and not touch the beach for 5 sometimes 6 hour stretches. I was never the thrasher kind of surfer, mostly looked for curls and tubes, but there is nothing quite like bein out on the water.
Ooooohhh....computer illustrator! I illustrate, but the old fashion way :)
Long long ago, not too far away in the land of "Before-Computers", I graduated from university with an arts degree. Graphic Design and Illustration were my majors. I lived in a large city, and was in the field for nearly a decade before we started a family. At that point we lived in a smaller centre, and when we had our daughter in '84, I began working part time. When our son arrived 2 years later....I decided to stay home and freelance. That's when computer graphics kicked in. Freelancing in graphic design became redundant...as I couldn't compete speed wise with a computer. Had I remained with the agency I was with...they would have continued to upgrade me. I continued to do freelance illustrations...but also persued education as a supplement. Now, illustration is a supplement and pass time, while teaching is at the forefront. I'm fine with the choice (now), as I find it less demanding and less stressful.
Delighted to be counted as a friend :)
