My secret was before my time, but it's sad to see the way some people have just vanished recently.

SDN Spotlight: DrillnBoss
Well the holiday season is over. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.
There is no better way to kick off the New Year other than this month’s SDN Spotlight.
This Spotlight features DrillnBoss. We all are familiar with DrillnBoss, with his outstanding Cursor XP and FX skins.
DrillnBoss, a Master Apprentice at WinCustomize.com has been skinning since 2004, also makes Windowblinds and Rainlendar skins as well as SysMetrix skins.
DrillnBoss has been member here at Skinning.net since 2007 and he is a member at SkinArtistry2.com.
Just a Tip if you don't have the Gearend Cursor...get it now. It is awesome!
How did you get started in skinning?
”I first discovered Windowblinds on my brothers computer, I said, "how the heck did you do that?" and he told me about a website called Wincustomize. I downloaded skins till they cut me off, so I subscribed. It wasn't long before I had to create my own. It's that simple.”
Who are your favorite skinners?
”All of them.”
Has anyone of them, inspired you to make a skin? If so, elaborate a bit.
”J. Aroche. I like his cursors, He motivates me.”
Of the skins you made, which is your favorite?
”Desktop Warbird. I was happy with the way it turned out.”
(Footnote: Desktop Warbird was the Cursor of the Year (2007) at WinCustomize.com)
Do you have anything you are working on now?
”Yes I have a Windowblinds (skin) I've been working on. It's called Gearend. The Gearend cursor is available now but a new cursor will be released with the blind. Don't look for it before February, I'm skinning my living room and it has to be done before the Super bowl.”
What skins are you using right now on your desktop?
”I am using Gearend because I have been working on it and testing it.”
Stay tuned to find out who is next to be put under the Spotlight!

SDN Spotlight: jazzymjr
This Spotlight features jazzymjr. jazzymjr has been skinning since 2004, and has been a member of Skinning.net for 2½ years.
jazzymjr creates outstanding WindowBlinds skins. She holds the rank of Journeyman at WinCustomize.com as well being a member at Skinartistry2, Skinnalicious, and Deviantart.
How did you get started in skinning?
”Way back in 1995, I started piddling with making changes to colors, etc. to make themes. Then in 2004, my son introduced me to XP themes Visual styles. I then decided that I wanted to learn how to make my own skins. Somehow, I stumbled on Windowblinds by accident, and was immediately hooked! I joined Wincustomize, and started making changes to downloaded blinds for my own use. Eventually, after about a year of this, I bit the bullet and made my first blind from scratch.”
Who are your favorite skinners?
”Night Train, Pinchel, and Boopish for blinds. BuzzH58, Fairyy~, for accessories.”
Has anyone of them, inspired you to make a skin? If so, elaborate a bit.
”The person that was most influential in talking me into making blinds is Boopish. The person who was, and still is, my mentor, is Night Train…his work is top-notch in my book. He has been there for me every step of the way, encouraging and teaching me.”
Of the skins you made, which is your favorite?
”Of all the skins I have made, I guess it has to be Kayonite. I keep using that blind, changing its color to go with whatever wall I am currently using. My favorite Christmas skin is the one I just made…Holly Time. I have had that one on my desktop ever since I released it the first part of November.”
Do you have anything you are working on now?
”Right now…no. I am in the process of switching over to Windows 7, and will not be making any more skins until SKS 7 and WB 7 come out of beta.”
What skins are you using right now on your desktop?
”Holly Time blind and Wall. I don’t use any other skins. I like a clean, uncluttered desktop.”
Stay tuned to find out who is next to be put under the Spotlight!
