A long time ago there was a discussion about what graphics program people use. I thought that since I use PhotoShop, everyone must. Wrong. It is amazing so many use so many on the grid. The reason I bring this up is that I had the though of uploading my photoshop file somewhere so that others can use it (with all the layers and scraps in it) to extend on whatever I uploaded. I am still not sure if that would even be something people would want to use, even *if* everyone used photoshop. But I like the idea of a ftp site we could all drop scraps of jpgs and gifs that each of us could throw into the bit bucket to help and inspire eachother. Personally, I keep a folder on my desktop that contains over 40 megs of junk that I have collected over the years. Not that I would upload ALL of that or even .01% of it [ don't worry Ed :-) ] For example I just did a piece that used the Donkey Kong video game screen - for some reason the square above it just reminded me of that old dumb game and it just seemed like a visual pun that needed to be said. Well, along the way of finding a Donkey Kong image I found a bunch of really cool looking video game art and screenshots. Perhaps I'd upload a couple of those for others to play with. ugh! too much coffee for me today! - jonathan
