Your site is absolutely IDEAL for my students and how they can learn to apply their creativity yet maintain some form of reality (make sense?). Some are non verbal and intellectually challenged….others quite bright yet limited in scope and functionality. I teach Autistic students in high school with varying degrees of challenges. “I hope you will forgive the informality. It wasn’t a serious thing at the beginning until I started receiving emails such as this one: It would allow anyone with no drawing skills to make beautiful stuff too.

I didn’t invented anything, I got inspired by Erik Natzke and others and went into my own direction. So I was using code to make pretty imagery. I like beautiful things but I can’t draw shit. I am too passionate about too many things for that. I guess we’re put in a box to be either a developer or a designer, or whatever and just do one thing. I was supposed to be a developer executing on others vision but I’m way too pathologically creative for doing just that. But I wasn’t really fulfilled by the type of job I was doing. Back in the day I was working for important digital marketing agencies doing interactive flash stuff. I’ve started Psykopaint as a side project 5 years ago.

Sorry for not being too entertaining in that email and to tell you that I won’t be able to develop Psykopaint any further. Thank you so much for all your support in those last 4/5 years.
