I have been around since the early 1980s.  I grew up in small towns in
Alabama, USA.  I now live in the lovely state of Colorado.  It's
beautiful and amazing here.  I am a medical cannabis user and
supporter.  I love making art via pixeling, 3d, and stop motion.  My
cash intake is usually from a Information Technology, or IT, job.  I
have been tinkering with computers since as long as I can remember.
My grandfather first got a 486 33Mhz DOS PC in the early 90s.  Before
that it was the obligatory Apple ][e's at elementary school.  The 486
had just DOS originally, then we installed Windows 3.1.  I got used to
use and breaking both.  Then going through and fixing what I had
broken.  I have had training at Animation Mentor, an online animator's
school as well as Virginia College in Birmingham Alabama.  I have been
drawing since a young age.  I was very interested in comic books for a
very long time and mimiced the styles.  I also used the DOS Disney
Animation Studio, to create some pixel art animations.  I later moved
on to Paint Shop Pro and Gimp.  I still enjoy pushing pixels around,
an artform that still has it's merits.  Working within a limited rule
set makes every pixel count.
