A friend of mine unnamed who works for a graphics design company which will also remain unnamed, just helped me out MAJOR. I've known this guy since I moved to this city 8 years ago, and he helped out big time after my divorce you may have read about in my introduction, he's the kind of guy you don't expect anything from, but he always astonishes you in the most amazing ways.

His company just overhauled to upgrade all their individual systems to CC, so they had like, 70 more copies of the Adobe Master Collection CS6 standalone just laying there, with all genuine activation keys, that weren't gonna be used. Each employee, of which my friend is one of 20 total, got two copies, and the managers got three each, and he kept one for himself on his own rig, and gave me the second one.

I am so overjoyed, he said he had a surprise for me, and sent me this picture of him holding the envelope it's packaged in:

And then he showed up like, 5 minutes after I got that picture.

I'm installing this tomorrow once I have more time to think over which programs I'd like to actually install from it. Photoshop and After Effects are top priority right now, but there might be some other goodies as well.

Just wanted to share that little bit with you guys, thank you if you read it, and if I get more free time away from work in the future, I may just start doing GFX for the community here. I've been out of that game for quite a while, I'll have to do a few projects for friends first before I bring it onto here, but I'll be glad to help in that way here if I can and help out the other artists on here who do free avatars, maybe take some of the weight off their shoulders.

Thank you for reading my friends
