Gary David Bouton

Gary has authored 35 books since 1992, covering a diverse range of software, from Adobe Photoshop, to corelDRAW, Xara Designer , modeling programs, designing for HTML, video editing and probably others. The common thread among these diverse studies is a common thread: how does today's individual express themselves artistically? The author has been illustrating professionally for over almost years. Mr. Bouton makes a point to share with readers not simply what a graphics application's tools do, but more importantly how they can be used to produce whatever is on the reader's mind.
