Ahhhh.... It all started in my first year of college. There he was in the classroom sitting quietly in the corner by the window. The sun was glaring off him, I was intimidated and intrigued by his abundance of knowledge. He could do everything; write, draw, play music...and I wanted to learn more. His name is Mac, him & I have been together on and off now for about four years now. We've been working out our differences and really getting to know each other on a deeper level. I know how to turn him on, but sometimes when I aggravate him he just shuts off completely without any warning! I have to admit, I push his buttons a little too far sometimes. He says I always tell him what to do, but he only listens half the time and it's extremely frustrating! Don't get me wrong, he's really great! We have our own "code" words for things that just him and I know about, it's really helped us understand each other. Our relationship has really grown over the years and I think with a little work we will live happily ever after.
I have to let you in on a little secret... Mac isn't my boyfriend, in fact he isn't even a human being. I have to let you in on another secret... My lame computer humour only works on my fellow nerdy friends who live and breathe design like I do. Being an artist is one thing, but learning to adjust your art form to the computer is one of the biggest challenges of all. Through trial and plenty of error I have become more comfortable with this glorious machine and I learn something new every day. Everyone learns at a different pace, and sometimes you want to pull your hair out when you can't achieve the effect you have in your mind, but if you fully dedicate enough of your time you will succeed. There is no better feeling than when you finish a project and it is exactly the way you wanted it to be.
If you have the passion, charisma and drive there is no stopping you... It's just a matter of time!
