About Me

My photo
I'm divorced, and have no children. I live in New England (Vermont). My favorite season is Autumn and holiday is Halloween. I've been PSPing since 2001, tutorial writing since 2004 and tubing since 2009. I gave designing scrapkits a try in 2012 but didn't get a feel for it. I have been writing psp scripts since 2012 and have been doing artwork and making them as tubes to sell since October of this year (2013). I also CT for several designers and a store. I tube artwork for two stores. I enjoy my PSP time almost as much as my offline time sketching.
