How quick and easily painted graphics eventually resulted from experimentation

Is a new website for anyone who has an interest or collects vintage & old postcards.

Well ! how did this venture get started? In the first place I started out being a signwriter, with lots of graphic touches being needed. Problems! problems problems. I really needed some sort of system for producing quick easy professional looking work, and me not being a natural born artist had extreme difficulty with

PROPORTION !!!!

Fortunately at the time homeputes were starting to become much more usable, and managed to grab me an old Amiga 500, which was then state-of-the-art -gear! Anyhow after much experimenting, and much grief all this began to surface, except in those days I had to print stuff all in A4 which was not much fun when someone needed a 10x10 foot angel on their shop wall. Had to plan everything in grids and fit everything together jigsaw fashion, and all traced by hand from the original printouts, like I said I had to do it this way because proportion was definately not my strong point. Anyhow the system was just about perfected and guess what ! the 90's recession set in, and for me never recovered.

In recent years I have taken to art, pop art actually, as pop art was first created by signwriters thought it only fitting I should carry on what I was used to, and made much use of this system, so much indeed I thought it would benefit others, and so created my own website devoted to this system.
