Well... there's a reason I haven't been able to post any artwork... and it has to do with the reason I haven't gotten my Wacom tablet and my scanner to work.
Thank you to Lindsay for pointing out that the breakdown was not the result of failing to read the directions properly, it's been a pathetic lack of computer power this whole time.
As in: 256 MEGs.
As in: not even a GIG.

A few years ago, I bought the biggest Mac available (the now obsolete G-III) after a publishing company promised me design work and promised to send the software I needed in order to do it. Neither the software nor the work materialized, so my Mac was nothing but a $2,300.00 paperweight with an Apple logo on it, so I took some advice and switched platforms when the opportunity to study Law presented itself so I dropped another wad of cash on a PC with the largest stock desktop available. Today, people laugh at its "mighty" 256 megs.
Needless to say, I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE NEED TO DROP A SMALL FORTUNE - AGAIN.

It was hard enough to come up with a few hundred dollars for the Wacom... looks like I've got to drop a lot more than that every couple of years to keep from going obsolete!!!

Until I can afford another computer... nobody is going to see any finished pieces from me anytime soon.
