Before developing an interest in art and sculpture, I spent most of my working life as a pilot. (No, not the big jets - although I had an airline licence - I mostly flew low level, mustering cattle in planes and also had a commercial helicopter licence, also sadly mostly unused.) After retirement, I discovered I could manipulate photos in Photoshop! C'est magnifique!
I also turned to metal sculpture after creating a metal porch enclosure for myself then for several other people. However, working with sculptures is easier than moving 130+ kg metalwork!
As well as sculpture, I enjoy learning how to create digital art in Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, Poser and ZBrush (that one's difficult to learn!) I also dabble with video and audio editing after creating videos made while playing guitar (badly) or surfing.
