In recent days, I've been in the process of creating header graphics for my Gather groups. Thanks to John F. who wrote the article, Upload Your Own Group Header! By John F., found at the following link: /viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976766951
I found John's article really quite helpful in getting a grasp of the format and size needed for these kind of group headers. Using his guidelines, I set out on this task, and so far I've created three headers. I have ideas for two more germinating in my brain, even as we speak. Eventually, I'll have headers for all of my Gather groups.
Okay, so I've already posted about both the Fantasy Art Group Header, and the Fortean Enigmas Group Header. And now here's what I've achieved for the 3D Art Enthusiasts Group at Gather. . .
Again, just like the other group headers, the image here in this article does not show up very large, but you can see it much larger in its proper place as the actual group header, top of the group's main page at: http://artenthusiasts3d.gather.com/

People are sometimes surprised to learn that I use a PC, rather than a Mac. But fact is, unlike what the commercials imply, now with all the software available on either platform, you can do computer graphic art just as well, if not better, on a PC. There was a time, in the past, when the Mac was king of computer artists, but that is no longer the case. Toward the end of last century the PC had to play catch up, with PC versions of key software being designed, but that's been done now for several years. There are still a few things exclusive to the Mac, however now there are more computer graphic programs exclusive to the PC, so the tide has definitely turned, in that regard. It still startles me, how many people wont take my work seriously, because I'm not using a Mac, as if that makes any difference.
I'll never forget a convention, where I had a booth, selling prints of my work. I guy came up and was all gushy with compliments of my work. He was so impressed.
Then he asked, "Well, of course you use a Mac, right?"
I said, "No, I use a PC."
His face fell, and he just replied, "Oh."
He turned and walked away. Not returning to my booth again throughout the time of the convention.
I think this story well illustrates the point that this PC bigotry is unfounded. He was impressed with my work, until he learned it was done on a PC. The type of computer should be irrelevant. The only relevancy that matters are the results. If the results look good, then that should be the only criterion of evaluation. Everything else is irrelevant. Sorry, that is an old soap box, and I need to get off of it.
