I have known Johns Work for some time, what sort of pleases you is that i have seen it progress to such a great standard that i don't know if he speaks to artist riffraff like me at all now : )

He makes people like me aspire to improve and to just to try and make great images like himself.

John also doesnt stick to one sort of art, he can do them all, photo blending, artsy stuff, and even attempts the monthly challenges as well, now if you read his background he's gonna start the photo comps! John give us a chance eh?

Thank you for being part of the forum, John!

John's Background from himself,

1. Aged 65 years, retired 6 years after 42 years in the packaging industry.

2. Degree in Engineering and was mainly employed in the running and building of new factories.

3. In the 1960`s was involved in a major project relating to what is now a common sight of the easy open top on the beer and soft drink cans. During this development I spent a lot of time in the USA travelling extensively throughout the country.

4. When I retired although doing some consultancy work I needed a hobby to keep the old mind active and working so stated to do some painting but that old pencil and brush would not follow what I saw in my mind, so about 18 months ago started to do some digital art using Painter and Photoshop and that little mouse sure helped.

5. My progress in digital art, is due to the friendship, help and encouragement from our forum members.

6. Since I travelled to many different parts of the world during my working life, Far East, Middle East, Africa, Americas and extensively in Europe my only regret is that I did not own a camera nor was very interested in photography so I have no photographs to remind me of those places.

7. I intend to purchase a camera and take up photograph as my next hobby and I am sure our forum membership will help and advice me on all aspect of photography.

8. Photo Comp Section look out for my entries.
