You would think, wouldn't you. Unfortunately as soon as I open any kind of graphics package I seem to lose all co-ordination in my mouse hand, my IQ drops by about 80 points and I become a gibbering vegetable. I actually uninstall paint from my development machine because it's mere presence on the system impacts my productivity.

Graphics tablet? If it's used for a work-related purpose... If you're that bad when it comes to drawing with the mouse, what about drawing it on paper, scanning it in and somehow making the computer trace over it? I hear Paint.Net does something like this, with the right effects. Or alternatively, have a crack at it and if it looks bad enough, enter it for the Turner Prize;

Yeap that's exactly like me. As soon as I do anything that involves creating graphics my brain goes on an automatic shutdown. Which is annoying, because I can picture in my mind what I want to do, or what I want something to look like, I just can't.....do it. Damn brain.

You have to regress. In one of those annoyingly cutesy programmes where they interview short people about all sorts of stuff, one little chap (at least I think it was a chap, could have been a chappess though) when asked how he knew what to draw, said. "I think about it for a bit, then I just draw my thinks." Obvious really. :)

If you're undecided it was probably a chappess. :|

That's all right Simon, don't feel alone with this problem, I like paint.net for screen copy, paste, print, close. That being the sum total of my graphics skills.

Go ahead and publish it; "owners" will be coming out of the woodwork. Then claim you saw it in a vision while having tea with God Sunday morning and thought it was a gift. They'll leave you alone.

You have no friends who can draw ? Also, on a long shot you could post the image in question somewhere and give us a link to it. I'm curious now as to what it looks like. If it was online, maybe someone here will have some idea to finding the origin. Was the original filename kept, by any chance? edit: I sometimes open a graphics file in notepad and find all kinds of interesting items in plain text, sometimes the artists' name, the editing package, a company name, etc.

Do you have a blog with reasonable traffic or anything else you could post a copy of the image and a 'where is this from?' query?
