Adobe Photoshop

I've always thought of myself as a freelance artist. I love all kinds of drawing methods but my favorite has to be using Adobe Photoshop. It feels like a canvas right in front of you but instead of a pen or paintbrush you have a mouse and a cursor to guide your brush strokes. The thing about Adobe to me is that I was never formally taught on how to use it, instead I installed it and just experimented and I consider myself pretty handy with it nowadays since I started about 5 years ago. From drawing stick figures then to now making full artistic pieces that are montages or a customized picture alteration.

It is also much cheaper than the number of notebooks and pens and pencils need for drawing, I love the fact that whenever i feel like expressing myself in a artistic manner I can just open up Photoshop and create my own unique magic. Another good reason to having a laptop while being a St. John's students. I even used Photoshop to creat the background and tables on my myspace page, and now I am looking at making my own site, but I have limited html knowledge so now its time to get a better grasp of that and there are no limits to my creative abilities.
