Bowie is my favorite artist – effectively changing my life by hobby and career with the release of his 1996 album, 1:Outside. I had seen the CD’s album cover in the store, painted by Bowie, and bought it without even being a fan of past work. Eventually, the focus on the “MACK” (Mac) computer in the concept album’s story and the cutting edge Photoshop liner artwork inspired me to buy a Mac and start working in Photoshop. Creating my own photo restoration job eventually led to a job QCing artwork which led to me becoming a Mac IT tech and then finally a cross industry IT and multimedia career.
