Melissa Findley - I never seriously considered being an artist. I think, somewhere in the back of my head, I'd totally bought into that whole "starving artist" idea--and I'm not overly fond of starving.

Art, however, is something I've just always been able to do, from the time I was old enough to pick up a crayon. Drawing, to me, is like breathing. I don't really have to think about it, and it's necessary to life.

I'd been doing freelance art and graphic design for a long time, without even realizing it. Mixed in with everything else I was doing, it just didn't seem like that big a deal. Then, in 2003, my roommate bought me a Wacom tablet, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Tucker is 14 years old and currently in 8th grade. He has started his own video production company, StageFront Video, with a friend in the fall of 2004.

Since then the company has produced bar mitzvahs, school plays, and many different kinds of concerts. Tucker has taught at his local Apple Store and will do so again!

Congratulations to Rivka and Keith - they got married in January, just after Macworld Expo!
