Update ...

Whew life has been full of busyness and it has been far to long since I posted an update!

So.. a little news about what has been going on.  I recently updated my Adobe CS Premium software suite to CS4 ... whew what a difference! Have been running tutorial after tutorial to update myself on all the current changes and abilities that CS4 has ... lols I don't believe there will ever be an end to it ... but that is fine as long as I know enough to be current and have the knowledge to complete the tasks I need. 
The other area I have been working steadily on is social networking, updating MySpace ( which is a bit behind the current trends but still have groups that utilize it to send info. on shows, members, etc.), Facebook, and Twitter!  Look for gailwhi!  The only problem with this is boy you can spend a lot of time reviewing all the possibilites and finding those connections that will really help you out with finding freelance work! 
As if that wasn't enough ... I'm an avid SL (Second Life) fan and also use it for social networking, ( yes you can use it for that! .. its not all games! I have had art galleries there and have met a lot of artist all over the globe that way!  Currently I run a Blues club and manage a live singing act. 
One of my contacts in SL that is actually a very good real life friend now has another virtual world in the start up process and I have been working on that for him and his partner which if we get it up and rolling will become a full time real life job, and if not I have been learning a tremendous amount about high end website design and development with Open Source software and code which really gives me an edge in the market for web site design and development. 
Will add more later on all this! and some of my new art.. as soon as I can!
