Studied Drawing and Painting The Ohio State University (after all this time I still can't see why alumni get hung up on the "The" in it's name, maybe because I got sick and didn't graduate. Shortly after leaving I took up Photography and Photoshop, making digital collages, using the raw images as if it were paints on a pallet. If you want to see my portfolio of collages and more traditional work, you can go to www.jfhouchinjrcollages.com In the last few years I have developed an almost acute bout of agoraphobia and hardly left the house to shoot, so I got a Wacom tablet (Intuos, I can't afford the Cintiq) and started to draw again. This was the start of my webcomic Diffident. Though in recent years I have been using an iPad Pro to do most of my drawing.
