I really enjoyed this interview. I have heard of painter for a long time now but have been ,sorry to say, brainwashed using my trusty photoshop. I have to say though, after seeing these images and knowing what i want to accomplish in my own illustrations it is plain to me now that i must break outside my boundaries and give painter a try. Thanks for sharing all the best.
~cheers~
