I grew up drawing. It was something I did every other weekend with my first and closest friend. 

I moved away and bought a Compaq Presario in 1999 with my first Alaska PFD. I always had MSpaint available, but it was a toy to me. I was more into StarCraft, where the origin of my username began.

2002 I enrolled in an art class. With renewed interest, and limitations, MSpaint was the most obvious choice for digital art. Here, my gallery stands. A testament of teenage years sitting in front of a CRT monitor, chatting on mIRC, and developing a love for music with Winamp. 

Thanks to everyone there, and everyone who practices the art to this day.
