Hello and Welcome!

 Trying something new and different for me.....  

Years ago, I had tried my hand at selling scrap kits - wasn't that successful.  So, for the time being, I'll be sharing all my scrap kits - both FTU and Previously PTU - here on this blog.  I'll also be sharing other stuff made in PSP and other places, such as masks, frames, backgrounds, gradients and so forth.  There isn't going to be any kind of schedule to the shares.  I might share once a week, or back to back, or possibly weeks in between.  Whenever it hits me and I post.  The scrap items are in zip-files, and the TOU will be in there, too.

Also, have recently gotten in to AI and use a variety of different programs - sometimes I'll use one image and put it through 2 or more.  I know some are leery of AI, or refusing to use it and that is your prerogative and I respect that.  However, please reciprocate and respect my desire to use these AI generated products, without argument.  I - personally - just view it as another (digital) art tool, just like some use Procreate or Photoshop or Wacom tablets.  Based on the info provided by many of the AI places, they are not USING other artist's art.  What the programs are designed to do is, if prompted, they are using the art style of whatever artist might be mentioned to help get an idea of what the designer/creator is trying to accomplish.  I see this as not much different than a (traditional) artist using inspiration from other sources, including other artists.  The percentage of an "artist" showing up in a finished AI image (or even their art style), when combined with all the other stuff via the prompts ends up being quite small.

That being said, to cover all bases, I checked out the TOUs/TOS for the different AI programs that I've been using and what they do and don't allow (etc.) and I will provide the links to them on the side of the blog.  When I post anything for FTU share that was designed in an AI program in any manner (even if just a small percentage), I will note it both in the post and on the item.  Since my understanding is that AI generated art can NOT be copyrighted, when using my (AI) stuff, you can use the following for crediting:


I'm not sure if I'll be reviving my old scrap blog - if I do, I will let you know.  I *do* have all intention(s) of reviving my tutorial blog, which is still usable and found here:
