Is this a proper introduction? I'm a few years in, but better late than never.

I work in #GraphicDesign and some #technicalillustration though I come more from a background of #Illustration and #OilPainting (though I haven't done this a goodly number of years). Living in central #Canada provides me with long winters where I'd fritter away my time indoors plunking at #computers and #coding. After cutting my teeth of BASIC, it was all downhill from there.

I have wired entire houses (in a very legal manner), and am a fan of #DIY. I have a few published works of art, and if you live in North America you've probably seen some of my other work, though I often can't take direct credit for it.

I love #cats. I also sometimes hate cats. I'm probably more a #dog person, but too lazy for them.

Though specialize in using #CorelDRAW but I really enjoy using #opensource software, and have used #Linux as my main driver for many years.

As a fun project with my family and an outlet from work, we're taking our bad puns and making them into good designs. Or vice versa!

Anyone using LibreCAD? Do you like it? Any other preferred free drafting software 2D or 3D?

Spent some time tonight working on my SpaceX (Star)Ship and Super Heavy booster #wip. Really happy with this Ferris Wheel Press Dearest Navy ink, it’s a nice off-black.

More work on this #wip rendering of the SpaceX (Star)Ship and Super Heavy booster. Glad I added a second ink color, for darker darks.

I started this with only one color, but decided tonight to add an additional ink. Using Ferris Wheel Press Dearest Navy, and Sailor #224 (so far.)
