I&#039;ve been a storyteller as far back as I can remember well before I made journalism my first career. I studied journalism at Ryerson University (long before it was known as a university) and spent a number of years as an investigative journalist and news photographer. With the emergence of the web in the 1990s, I worked as a web designer, e-commerce developer, and IT project manager. In the early 2000s, I was a professional futurist doing technology forecasting and working as a technology strategist. I also began teaching college classes in strategic management, managing technology and innovation, project management, business communications, systems thinking, and other courses. </p> <p> Through all of these jobs writing and visual communication remained a core part of the work I did. I have a B.A. in Journalism from Ryerson University, an M.S. in Studies of the Future from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, and an M.S. in Information Design &amp; Technology from SUNY IT (State University of New York Institute of Technology) </p> <p> About the presenter : Esther Mann </p> <p> “It all starts with my deep and abiding love of comics and comic book art. It&#039;s an obsession that started in childhood with an uncle&#039;s 100 volume collection of Classic Illustrated comic books. I was raised by a muralist father and can remember painting large backdrop sets, landscapes and scenes for an amazing number of years. Of all the subjects we painted I found and still find, humans and the human figure to be the most fascinating. </p> <p> These loves (the human figure and comic book styles) eventually led me to 3D art, a natural extension of this interest. I started with Poser and when Daz Studio was released that became my software of choice. As I browse through my runtime, I realize I&#039;ve been producing art using 3D models since 2003, and I see a copy of Photoshop 6 sitting here on my shelf as well. Apparently I&#039;ve been at this a while, and yet 3D art is still in it&#039;s infancy as an artform. It is so very exciting to see where it goes as it evolves. </p> <p> I&#039;ve sold art at Comicons, been commissioned for paintings, worked on book illustrations, and have a website for book covers. It&#039;s awesome and so much fun! I love learning. I love art. I love the 3D art style. Together I find them to be an incredible amount of fun, there&#039;s not much I like doing more than meeting other artists, and exchanging ideas, tips, and tricks. It is definitely my idea of a good time!” </p> </div> <h2 id="product_notes">Product Notes</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <h3 id="installation_packages">Installation Packages</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> Below is a list of the installation package types provided by this product.
