# Some pics by my 13 year old nephew...
Over the last few months, since getting him a tablet he's developing a good style I reckon. Self-taught, despite dyslexia.

I'm rather proud of him.

He'd appreciate constructive criticism from those who know what they are doing (i.e. you lot) as he is keen to learn. He's using The Gimp and Potatoshop. Thanks, fellow b3tans.

And yes he reckons he's an emo, but don't hold that against him...

# He's really good
far better than some similar pictures I've seen from older people.

# Yeah, cos dyslexia makes it impossible to learn things
(Mrs Trellis GIN, Wed 5 Nov 2008, 11:56, archived)
# It does when he can't read the instruction manual.
Or the help pages.

Not impossible. Just more difficult.

# Sorry, I seem to be sensitive today
Just the way you phrased it made me angry
(Mrs Trellis GIN, Wed 5 Nov 2008, 12:05, archived)
# I apologise wholeheartedly
I didn't mean to upsest you - I should have qualified my statement a little better.

He is making fantastic progress with his wonderful teacher who takes great pleasure in seeing him flourish.

Like I say, I'm rather proud of him.

:-)

# Hahaha
I burned all that when I moved into my flat.

No way was I going to leave that lying around for someone to find.

More disturbing is the stuff I did when my dad died. My mum's kept some of it in various places all over her house so I can't find all of it and chuck it out.
