Hello from West Texas! I am a total newb at this. I started out with graphics design. My friends would want some artwork for a t-shirt or a decal and would have someone else make it. So I decided why not do everything myself and make some $$ on the side. Just bought my first vinyl cutter about a month ago. No training.. No internship.. just winging it. So far so good. No plans to open a business...BUT anything can happen.
