At
MXskinz, it started out with two people skinning like crazy,
and then as time went along, so many wonderful talented people
have contributed to the site to make it the variety that it
is!
Here as a big thanks to each of them, MXskinz will feature
a skinner each month or so! Thanks so much to all of them!

do you live?: Ohio, USA

Quicknotes, Coolplayer, Winamp, and Beatnik. I used to skin

better. I've also done a couple BoxBar skins, but don't ask
me to remember how *s*.

Hobbies:
Skinning, sewing (I also design a lot of my daughter's
clothes), beadwork, gardening, cooking, fish keeping (fancy
goldfish).....
Do
you have a favorite skin?: Usually whatever skin I am
working on at the moment. Or whatever skin I just finished
*s*.
How
did you get interested in skinning?: I started with Neoplanet.
I made a couple of really girly skins for it. Then I stumbled
onto skinz.org, (right before or right after efront first
bought them,) and got completely lost. I loved the idea that
you could change so much on your computer and just had to
figure out how to do it all. I tried too many programs to
count, then settled on a few that I really liked and have
pretty much stuck to them since. At first skinning was just
fun, but after a while it became a challenge. I saw that my
work was suffering from "sameness" and laziness. Challenging
myself to create designs that are completely different from
anything else I had already done keeps me interested in continuing
to skin, and has inspired me to seek a career in graphics.
