    I got into them because my friend made sigs and i thought they looked pretty cool so started to make them myself.

    I've had Photoshop for a while still a but of a noob though...

    Started 4 years ago, just out of curiosity... Turned into a hobby... Then into something I do when I am bored, and nothing else to do.


    I just do it as something to do... I've been offered monetary endevours, but thats not why I do what I do.

    But, it wouldn't be too bad gettign a job somewhere where using Photoshop is part of the everyday workload. haha.
