Name: Michael Benedict

Nickname: I.R. Brainiac.(I watch way too many cartoons)

Place O' residence: Texas.

Programs skinned: WindowBlinds, ObjectDock zoomers and some wallpapers . When the next version of SkinStudio comes out I may try a Windows media player skin.

Programs used: Photoshop, Articon pro and Terragen.

WebSite: Wincustomize Gallery

Hobbies: Been in a few rock bands. Played guitar and bass. Never found fame and fortune and their weren't as many groupies as I had hoped but it was a great way to make instant friends. Don't suppose there are any skinning groupies are there?hehe.

Favorite skin: The ones that first inspired me with their level of artistic ability and creativeness were Mike Bryant's "colony", Treetog's"copperdeck"and Hippy's"meltdown". The SkinFactory also has extremely high standards of originality. Take a look at their"combat flight simulator" skin. It represents what I like most about skinning. My favorite Terragen artists is of course the fabulous Xerraire!hehe.

Interested in skinning: I had a pirate copy of WindowBlinds and found out about the Wincustomize web site. I was so impressed by the program and the skins and people on the message boards that I purchased SkinStudio XP and have been hooked ever since.
