Drawing Guy - A new resident

Ever since I saw the 1976 Mustang Cobra II in Charlie's Angels when I was a little kid (reruns as the show predates me, but it's better than most daytime TV) I wanted a Mustang. 2005 saw the Mustang tip back to the retro styling, and the Mustang went from looking like a generic car to me back to muscle car, and my desire was renewed. Was in college at that time, and needless to say, anything above ramen noodles was out of my budget. Years later time came to replace my car, and I got my first Mustang (October 8th 2011 - got a black 2012 Mustang GT Premium).

I admit in my research of reviews and pictures of mustangs, I've lurked on this site quite a bit, but never joined. Now that I've thoroughly enjoyed my car for a year, I've decided I want to spice it up a bit. The list can so easily be endless, but starting on the exterior. Love seeing the things people have done to their cars, look forward to you guys seeing mine, and may get some help on the way.

Anyways, hello world!

*laughs* Alas I don't draw much anymore. A hobby that I need to get back into... but this is a handle I've had for over a decade. However when I do draw, it's usually people or cars. If the urge to draw ever hits me outside of work, I just may post it here. XD

Thank you for the welcome!

Definitely did so! Many were pretty impressive, and liked the vector piece from burningman. I'll definitely check out those users.

So I am looking to buy and sell parts as I mod my Mustang. Could someone point me towards the rules and restrictions (as I cannot post there) that are placed on the marketplace?

Thanks Stang! I'm sure I'll touch through that either here or some other section..

For those that are curious, this is the direction that I plan on taking with my black Mustang as done on the Ford customizer: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...=XAQHZQ_u9&s=1

Obviously picture it in 2012 trim rather than '13, but that hits my goals of a bold looking Mustang without requiring a repaint. This means though I'm looking for the 2012 Boss 302 LS rims... hoping people know good places to go or have some that they may want to sell.

Well, I'm eagerly awaiting to see if the Microsoft Surface Pro will be what I hope. If it comes with a Haswell proc and a Wacom Penabled stylus, I will get that and will have a tool that I can carry around for art anywhere. Otherwise it's the good ol' pencil and paper that I then have to have a surface to draw on with, which limits me to desks (blame my PC paper drawing habits over notebooks)

Side news, just got an offer for $25 for 6 months of Sirius... I just may get satellite radio again. XD
