BO,
I found your build report befor I started to intro my self here. This is one of the builds that really got me interested in this site. You guys are really great at technique and research.
The art dept. I worked in was totally old school when I started. Pen and Ink drawing by hand, and then into the dark room for pictures on an Argile-18 upright camera, and Kodak cems. Oh the fumes...I miss 'em. By the time I got out of the business I was working on a Mac with Illustrator/Photoshop.
My wife has been pushing me latley to get back into it tho. The cost is outragiuos tho. I'd have to start with new equipment and schooling to get cought up. We'll see tho, I have plenty of time anyway. Thanks
