I guess that means naked in a circle of light.

So, I love PhotoShop. Nothing new there. I've been loving it for around a decade, but using it mostly for my own hobby and fine art purposes. I have a fine art background (MFA), with a lot of drawing/painting/sculpture/photography and other stuff.

Now, alas, I am unemployed. My 8-year cushy temp gig ran out and left me bouncing on my ear. I am currently travelling in Asia.

I am wondering if I can break into doing PhotoShop as a job, for a business or freelance. Is it realistic?

I'm quite accomplished with my own esoteric, if extremely elaborate uses of PhotoShop, but, admittedly, my practical, business-applicable skills are somewhat dormant. Let's be honest, I've rarely used PhotoShop for anything other than my own creations.

But I am willing to pour through the most tedious, and the most fun books in order to sharpen my practical skills and become a more well-rounded and competent PhotoShoper.

But what are my chances of finding work? I'm willing to start out slow and build up...

Wow, I know that I actually exist: "If I"m not me, who the hell am I?" To be a terminating Bean is a joy unto itself and it's own reward. Thanks for sharing that piece. Did you do it yourself?

Yep, just pieces and parts.......thanks to google. Terminator was cool, but ya gotta love Mr. Bean!!

your right there Synth, can't beat a bit of Rowan Atkinsons rubber limbed madness.
