Hi Painter lovers, and those who may be one day,

Corel now has a community forum site named The Painter Factory. It's still not been announced by Corel, but Steve Szoczei (Corel Painter User Interface Designer) and Rob Macdonald (new Corel Painter Program Manager since Rick Champagne moved to AutoDesk) have told me it's OK to share the news.

I've been puttering there for the past few months, figuring out how things work, posting a few tutorials to help people use the site, getting my Bio up, starting to set up my Gallery (one painting so far), and with participation from some of the Painter Masters, David Gell, and John Derry, it's picking up speed.

There are Galleries to see, Blogs to read, Painter Discussion forums to read, and a nicely designed site do do it all in... thanks to Steve Szoczei.... the hearth fire's warm, and all that's missing is you!

So come join us and make it even better at....
