Digital artist (and, dare I add, technological entertainer) @seb_ly talked at a Refresh Cambridge meetup. He told us about his relationships with computers, programming and technology, and how he ended up doing what he is doing now, which is pretty cool. And involves lasers!

Billy No Mates has recently had its yellow refreshed on the cabs and new numbers added after attention at Crewe. Thanks to the preceding up Norwich running slightly late I duly lost the sun on this!
I couldn't remember the last time i really felt refreshed and then it hit me. when i was in college i was an older student. i was fortunate enough to get to know about 6-7 older women who were either college professors or older students such as myself. we started meeting once a month alternating homes. we would wear great hats (long before the royal wedding!! LOL), drink wine and tea, and laugh. there was always show and tell and we encouraged each other on our projects. after about five hours we were exhausted but full of faith in our projects and our ability to be artist. I need to find some YAA YAA's! My back ground was made by using a hot glue gun to create designs in the bottom of a cookie sheet. i peal them up and then arrange them onto the surface of my paper. spay some paint and repeat with different colors of paint until i like it.
Okay, she's done with her spa time here! YAY! I cleaned up her face, freshened up her makeup and gave her a good coat of MSC. I also gave her new eyelashes, new gear parts for her eyemech and painted her fingernails again!
