I figured the future of my specific art form was headed in the digital direction so I picked up a copy of CorelDraw and went from there. I eventually got to learn Adobe Illustrator and that to this day has remained my tool of choice. Essentially, the motivation was the money in the beginning, and at this point it still to some degree is the money, but there is a lot more to it now. I truly enjoy design and the medium I work with, I just happen to make some money at what I enjoy.
