I was always told I was left brained and could not draw. And I bought into that view.

Somewhere down the road years ago I did learn to play guitar and to play by ear at that.  Now that’s not all left brained so my right brain must be working. 

About a year ago, my good friend Billy Hollis turned me own to a book by Betty Edwards (http://www.drawright.com/).  I started reading this and soon I found my self drawing on napkins in restaurants while we were waiting on food and at many other times too.  Dang’d if I could not draw!

Check out my UI article at Dev Pro Connections (Great UIs article) on some of my experiences.

Heres a few more links that are really cool too.

Cool color combinations web site

Simply painting is awesome. Saw this guy on tv.
