    Greetings from New Zealand. My name is Ray. I have always been interested in art and graphics… ever since I can remember… (took my mother ages to get crayon off the wall) lol
    I am a youth worker who also performs comedy family and children shows. I do a lot of charity work around New Zealand. Mainly performing, but a little artwork here and there. I paint the local schools signs for fundraising events and decided last week to get a vinyl cutter to make them more professional and quicker… 🙂 (That says something bad about my painting ability doesn’t it)
    Anyway, I’ll stop waffling. Great to be here. How do I get access to post in other areas? I have some questions… Cheers!!!

    Hi Ray, welcome mate. A great community here. I was holidaying in NZ in September, and October last year too. Great place you have there.

    Ask any questions, but if you want to become a gold member, it gives you access to video and member only stuff.

    Welcome again.

    G’day Ray,

    Welcome. Lots and lots of info here. If you’re anything like me, it’ll take you ages to wade through.

    The more I read, the more I realise there is to learn 😕

    You’ve actually bought a cutter already … or have just decided to buy one?

    Regards, Roger

    Ray, your avatar is not allowed mate, the mods will remove it when they wake up. The rules state it has to be a head shot (your own face too :lol1: ) so upload a photo so we can see who we are chatting to. 😉

    People are waking up in the northern hemisphere now. 🙂 Thanks for the welcome everyone.
    Hey Mark, I did a Nelson School tour earlier this year. Went to about 11 or 12 schools down there. We LOVE it down there!!!
    btw, sorry I didn’t drop in and say hi while I was down there. 😉

    Thanks Warren! 🙂

    re:Nelson tour…
    Yeah mate, Stoke was the last show on the tour!!! I stayed at the motorcamp in Richmond. Small world. I think it was just after the tour that Stoke got flooded!

    Just a quick question… the gold access to the videos etc… looks awesome, but at this stage I don’t think I can afford that. The bronze access, says you have access to free forums? Is that all the forums listed here?
