<p style="text-align: center;">Computers. Sometimes we love them and sometimes we hate them, but they are almost everywhere and mostly unavoidable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For artists when it comes to <strong>computers and creativity</strong>, it has made many menial, repetitive tasks easier and opened up a world of possibilities for inspiration and experimentation. We can tweak, manipulate, retouch, colorize, filter, erase, save and delete our creation over and over until we get it just the way we want it. I still do much of my art traditionally with paint and brush, but once scanned I can change many things without repainting the original piece.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="s1">If you want a trip down computing memory lane look at this infographic on how they have changed the world at:</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Even with their ever-increasing power they are still just a tool that can be used, misused or overused by us all:</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><em><span class="s1">&#8220;Computers let you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history, with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.&#8221;</span></em></h2>

<p>I first discovered the art of airbrushing by sneaking looks at those old pin-ups hanging on the walls in auto repair shops and work site break rooms. Varga girls. Old calendars. Of course as a boy I thought I wanted to learn how to do that. I was inspired&#8230;</p>

<p class="p1">This was my first real airbrush illustration job. Not exactly a pin-up. I had airbrushed other things before like flames on cars and all kinds of things on motorcycle gas tanks and helmets, but more as a hobby until this assignment in 1988 or so. Video Treasure Chest, a point of sale scratch-off game for now pretty non-existent video stores. It was still just VCRs back then. Maybe they will come back someday like vinyl records. Right after the 8 track tape revival.</p>
<p class="p1">Anyway, then I got the fever for it. I got better at it. I was an airbrushing machine. I painted anything and <em>on</em> everything. I even painted a neighbor&#8217;s baby bump so she could surprise her doctor for Halloween. Scandalous! I knew then I had a problem. See the scene of the crime below:</p>

I was caught orange-handed.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="p1">Anyway, Photoshop eventually replaced most conventional airbrushing for print media and I have been rehabilitated, but I still do it on some art for backgrounds and large areas. Who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll do some pin-ups next&#8230;</p>
