Buildings were contstructed in Illustrator and retouched and composed with Photoshop.

What graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
Photoshop, PhotoDeluxe v.2 and Illustrator. PhotoDeluxe is outdated but it has a great tinting feature that was eliminated on later versions. It allows strong colored washes to be applied without obscuring the image beneath.

What was the first graphics program you learned?
Paint it!

What is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
Photoshop. Is this a trick question?

How long have you been working with graphics software?
3 years.

How do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
From basic restoritive work to printing. I constantly use graphic software and traditional mediums to create artwork.

What is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
Save often and frequently if using a PC.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Spinning around in circles for a few minutes and watching the resulting display of stars and colors before my eyes as I lay on the floor. Truthfully, I am inspired by everything around me. But that spinning idea sounds kinda promising.
