I signed up for 91 Domestika courses. I want to explore many different artist's techniques as I develop my own. Although I have worked 42 years as a multimedia designer, I am somewhat new to digital painting and drawing. I was taught traditionally many years ago and want to see if I can revive some of those skills with an electronic pen drawing on a screen. I want to use what I learn here to apply to animated story telling in short films. I have a remote studio with MacBook Pro 16, 24" Cintiq 4K touch, 12.9" M1 iPad Pro, 27" 5K and 24" 4K monitors, a Mac Studio, Painter, Photoshop, Procreate, After Effects, Harmony Premium, Cinema 4D (Maxon One), Redshift, Zbrush, TV Paint, Illustrator, Premiere, Logic, Final Cut, Audition and Animate. For paying work projects I have been using After Effects, Premiere and Animate and will soon be working on a Storyline project. These will fund my storytelling and other personal projects. Highlights of my career include taking panoramas from the production stand directly across from the president at the DNC and taking panoramas from the NBC helicopter in Chicago, programming the 400 page media guide for the Chicago Bears website including a search engine, made a Project PUSH XL Owl costume for Jesse Jackson, produced electron micrographs and illustrations for the I.U. Med Center Neuroanatomy Dept. and illustrations for the Ohio State Radioastronomy Dept., photographed the Green Bank Telescope and Very Large Array, and many other adventures including traveling around Europe and the U.S., and most recently a two week educational and cultural tour of Cuba. Now I am 73 and 1/2 and want to make my own creations and stories. Life is wonderful and there is still so much to discover and so much to be thankful for.
