Something To Drink About
SALEM NEWS 02/21/2012:
I admit this isn't much for subject matter- originally a restaurant was planned for that address, but the paperwork took SO LONG that the restaurant located somewhere else. By the time the license came thru, the toy store was in the address.
This is a bit of a first for me. I am now using a graphics system called ARTIST SKETCHBOOK PRO, which works like a simpler and MUCH easier to use version of ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR, (To replace my WINDOWS PAINT I lost when my last computer crashed and ended up switching to MAC)and now I can format GREY TONES into my newspaper work
I have to say I'm rather pleased with the results.
