Penzioner, I always look at life this way, "Strive to be better than just good enough". There is always something new to be learned, and you are never too old to learn something new.

I haven't got to say anything about this contest, the quantity of the comments sais enough. But I'm glad to see that i'm using the same wacom tablet as a artist like you.
