It's Nice to Become Part of this Community

[Lax Incense]

Hello all,

I am Lax Incense (real name's Bobby) and I'm new here. I'm a Sophomore in High School from the greater Boston area of Massachusetts (USA). I'm here mainly because I'm interested in fantasy cartography, especially with Photoshop, as well as being part of a community of people with similar interests. Ever since I've started to become more interested in creative cartography and making my own fantasy art and literature, I've been looking for a good community to help supplement my learning in cartography, from which I've seen through many examples on this very forum, has a lot of depth and many styles and genres.

Overall I'm pretty excited to be here. Here's a list of some other hobbies and activities I enjoy:

- Music, anywhere from playing the Piano to making beats in Garage Band. I've been playing the Piano for a decade now.
- Sports, I enjoy playing Basketball as well as American Football competitively.
- Art, from Photoshop to drawing and writing
- Reading, I like genres such as Fantasy or Mystery, as well as Astronomy, Biology, Physics, and other sciences.
- Exploring, I'm somewhat of a tree hugger you could say. I like to walk through forests, mountains, and beaches, swim in the ocean, and watch random birds that make nests on my patio (it happened three times within two months, haha).
- Videogames, especially MMORPGs (I play RuneScape and lead a clan of about 30 active members, you can laugh).
- Randomstuffs, such as solving a Rubik's Cube in under two minutes and reciting the entire Elements Song.
- Girls ( ;P)

Politically, I'm fairly liberal in most matters but do not affiliate myself with any particular political party.

Okay, so that's pretty much me in a nutshell, look forward to meeting ya'll.

Also you can trust me to be an active member here and not ditch like most newly registered members, I'm quite the forums addict.
