Since I was 10 years old, was one of my hobbies the graphics-processing. My first experience I gained with Deluxe Paint V on my Amiga 1200 HDD. After i changed to Windows i used a long time Paint Shop. Than i switched to Windows 2000 at the same time i got a partnership with the city in which i lived at the time. It was a project for young people and kids, to teach them in graphics-processing, without payment. During the partnership, I got sometimes orders from musicians or discos. At this time i switched to Photoshop 7 and received a license from the city. With the release of Photoshop CS I stopped with the graphics and began a normal work. During all the time I've used Linux for solutions to problems, 2009 I decided to Install Ubuntu 9.04 (no more Live CD's!). 2010, I began again with the graphics-processing. At this time I used Photoshop 7 + Wine. In winter 2010 i installed GIMP. My first steps with GIMP were hard but i learned fast the UI and i'm in love with GIMP. I decided early for no Copyright's for my non commercial works, thats the reason why I use for all my works a Creative Commons license.
And now I'm here to share my work with all people.
