Featured Forum Member - Freddie

I introduce you to Freddie, who i like to call an out of the box gamer, he always does something different, looks at things in a more transparent way to other members. I thought i was the out of box thinking but Freddie takes to another level.

I was so pleased when he joined us because i thought we had lost him and why not have the talent under one Splitting Pixels roof. The only thing is all this talent = less chance for me to win.

I attach a photo of Freddie's earlier on efforts in the forum. Mixing comedy and art, love it.







Now for the background piece from Freddie himself.

I'm 54rs old and worked in various jobs in the building trade for most of my adult life, but due to various circumstances I now spend most of my time at home caring for my brother and stepfather. I'm 'born & bred' in Fulham, West London and live midway between the 2 football grounds of Fulham FC & Chelsea FC, I support the former in football, but my real sporting passion is International Rugby.

I've had computers since the days of the Sinclair Spectrum and then moved on to the first 'affordable' Amstrad,( How I wished I'd started with a Mac ) I first got into Photoshop when Elements V1 came bundled with something I purchased and then soon discovered the 'joys' of photo manipulation when I managed to place a cutout of 2 drunken fatblokes ( me & a Friend ) into a picture of a famous England Rugby celebration, the picture still hangs on my wall, & I was hooked,

Now that I have more time at the computer I enjoy the 'challenge' of Photoshop, thinking of an idea and then working out how to do it, and for me,t he weekly & monthly games at Splitting Pixels have been the ideal place to learn and improve.Although using Photoshop can at times be frustrating, the more time you put into learning & trying different things the less frustrating & more enjoyable it becomes.

Finally if your a regular in the games, thank you, "your a good bunch" if you haven't joined in yet come & join us, it's fun.
