ABOUT ME

 Hi!, I'm Amanda aka (itsallgoodamanda), (Amanda Rain), my friends call me Panda. 

Photographer: for 49 years
Designer: since 2007 Self taught Artist, Hobbyist, Jack of all trades really
Location: Jevis Bay, NSW, Australia

I have been on the internet now for 20 years and am totally self taught in everything I do. Before the internet I was a freelance photographer. and mini-lab printer (photo's) in the old days of film. From the first time I picked up a mouse I was pretty much hooked. Oh the stories I could tell you about my first early days on a computer would have you in stitches. when I look back I have come a long way for sure.

I love to hike the mountains, valleys, and the beautiful beaches with my faithful dog Bodie by my side. I also like to crochet, make healing balms I make the best arthritis balm mainly for myself. I love cooking, My biggest weakness is chocolate and coffee and I wonder why I don't sleep haha. 

I have been in the photography business on and off since I was 15 today I am 64 you can find my galleries and portfolio's at Amanda Rain Photography or itsallgoodamanda

I have no idea how I got into designing for print on demand sites like zazzle but I ended up with 6 shops there plus stores on other PODS around the web it was a lot to keep up with and after 15+ years with zazzle I have shut up shop there. Redbubble and Tee public are my main sites because they are Australian and I do like designing there as well. Either rainsdesigns or rainphotography, I hope you visit me there.

I can tell you my designs are not like anyone elses. Yes I use photoshop for designing and I taught myself that also. I doubt I will ever master all it can do, A lot of , well most of my designs and done with a photoshop brush and my mouse  everything is basically hand painted right down to pixel by pixel, it is painstaking work some designs will take me weeks to finish other I can do in less than a day. I know I am doing things the hard way but I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my artsy stuff.I am not a big fan of AI either but for seo work it could be helpful I guess. I can also do custom designs for you.

Anyway there is my head just so you know I am real, if you would like to contact my use the contact form on this site as I do not do social media these days. Have a great day
