Self Portrait Tuesday
For my first Tuesday self portrait I've chosen a CGI image. I spend a lot of my free time noodling around with 2d and 3d computer graphics. This image was made with ArtRage, a free paint app. One of the nice features of the program is that you can put virtual tracing paper over a photograph so you have a guide for painting. (You can also paint directly onto a photo).
You can get the software at http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html. There's a free edition and a $20 edition with a few extra features. It's a lot of fun and if you've never tried computer graphics, it's a very good place to start.

Hello to Mary Elizabeth!
In a fit of ego-centric indulgence, I Googled my name. Low and behold, I found it, in its entirety, in a reference to St. Joseph’s Grade School. As I recall, we had a Mary Beth, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Michael, and two Mary Kathleens.
I hope life finds you well, and that you find this reply to your old post.
Sincerely,
Mary Michael (Augustine – I chose the most sinful saint I could find for my confirmation name.) Justice

Hey, Mary Michael! I remember you! I think you were one or two grades behind me at St. Joe and had long hair that was a cool sort of wheat color. And the coolest name ever - I invoke it whenever I tell anyone about all the Marys at school!
