I was an artist. A fairly decent one (I don't really have a gallery of my stuff up, anymore, but here's a couple[0-1]).

That was a while ago (a long while ago. Over 35 years). I figured out that even a top-shelf artist (and I don't think that was my destiny) wouldn't make as much as mediocre programmer.

Nowadays, I have sort of "run off to join the circus." I write software for free.

Nice! I stopped about 10 years ago - last time I was active was 2011. I didn't think I had anything left up, but I was able to dig up some very old Behance stuff:

Those are great!

Really fun.

I've always suspected that the guy selling paintings on saw blades at the local wine and art festival is doing better than most artists in the field.

Now a programmer that can do art? That may come in useful!

I do most of my own graphic assets.

I know there’s many better artists, out there, but I’m good enough for government work.

Pretty dope drawings.

Thanks! But that was long ago.
