Well, a long time ago... autumn 2001... I discovered manipped photos of superheroes for the first time. A couple were good, most were crap. I figured I could do better, and that it would be a good way to learn photoshop. (I'm still stuck with my old Photoshop 5.0 by the way  ) So I gave it a shot, and eventually got a few posted at reptile625's site. (he now goes by the nick 'Optical Intuder' I believe.) But other than that I got no feed-back or encouragement (read 'praise') so I quit. 
But then in early 2004 I got a mail from a guy called SZink from one of the yahoo groups I was in, telling me I should post at Heromorph. I checked out the link and BAM! I was hooked. In my first few days here I was introduced to new things like 'Roswell porn', 'Muppet porn' and manipps so darn good it made me slam my head against the wall in frustration. (which is a bad thing to do when your brain capacity is already low)
I started manipping again, and got pretty good feed-back, so I've kept at it. More or less. Long periods of inactivity due to lazyness is to be expected.  Recently I've also picked up drawing, after someting like 7 years of not drawing a darn thing. But it's a bit quicker than manipping so...
