Dabblin’ with the Digital

If I could stop myself from saying, “only if I had this when I was growing up…” then I wouldn’t feel so damn old. But, for all seriousness I had to wake up 6:30am on a Saturday if I wanted to watch my favorite cartoon. Kids these days with their “All-You-Can-Steam” shows, YouTube, etc.

Other than missing out on the ability to binge my fave shows as a kid, I also spent hooours on an 8bit digit paintbrush program. Think I was using one of the first versions of a Mac. Right after the screens stopped being hues of green. Sh!t, nothing compares to the 80’s and all that neon & bad fashion. That’ll be a decade I don’t think will ever recycle back into style. Though- hipsters are bringing back the Fanny pack. Maybe it should be called the shoulder sack.

But, the 80’s is not the point of this rant. As much as I’d like to travel down memory lane.

With today’s touch screen iPads software and other tools, digital art is soooo above and beyond when. (The things I would have done…) I remember early days learning photoshop, illustrator, and some other program (think it started with a q🤔)
in college on a Wacom tablet. Damn. & I thought that was sooo cool.

I picked myself up an apple pen and a tablet - started to doodle around, entertain my 15 & 20 yr old self locked up inside. He liked monsters…

Here’s some doodles & progress steps as I dabbled with the future: (I mean, the present)
