Looking forward to your stories.
I too previously had a background in the digital world, firstly with assembler (8bit, 16bit), graphics and animation, and then finally web development. I know how it is when the projects you are contracted for, suddenly disappear... along with the money they owe you.
Now, like you, I am engaged full time in my creative pursuits. I tell stories with paintings. You know, a picture is worth a 1000 words. =)Welcome aboard @therovingreader!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Another technical creative! (And man, I'm glad I barely had to touch assembler.) Your paintings are otherwordly, I'll be following along with those too.
I was really geeky at the time and enjoyed hardware register bashing with assembler. But, now I'm glad that is the past.
Cheers, and more creative power to you, full Steem aheah @therovingreader. =)
Haha, I guess that's a different perspective - I only had to go into assembler when stuff was going really wrong in the firmware, so it was always with an ounce of dread.
I started out in the good old days of the C64 and Amiga. There were no game engines or libraries to reuse. You had to write it all from scratch, or reverse engineer other people's work.
In a way I still do that today, I reverse engineer other people's paintings to figure out their techniques. ;-)
Reverse engineering is an excellent skill to have!
Is blogging your main/full time thing these days?
I guess traveling has been my full-time thing since I left, and writing down my memories is definitely a part of that. This is the first time I've tried to find an audience, and you guys are fantastic!
As my "year off" (that's what I told my parents) heads into its second half, I'm so not ready to dive back into the corporate world. I'm getting more serious about passive income so I can try out being a creative full-time. Thanks for leading the way!
