Hello all, I`m Steve (artezz) a totally and permanently disabled Vietnam Vet. I reside in Norwich NY. I was blessed to be an artist all my life. At one point, I was invited to the White House to paint a Portrait of The First Lady Hilary Clinton. This was an oil painting that hung in The White House the last four years of the Clinton admin. I was proficient in all differnet mediums, including tattoos. Then agent orange raised its ugly head and took over my nervous system. Now I find I can not draw a straight line with a ruler. I was devastated to say the least. It took several years for me to get over this and move forward. I found the wonderful world of CNC. I have two machines now, one a shark 2 ft by 2ft, and the one that's driving me crazy. A flat bed 4ft by 8ft & 7in on zed from China. The smaller one I have had for 3 years and have learned to do a lot of art with. I bought the larger machine to do bigger more expressive pieces. If I can get it going.
