Well, I'm 28 and work in retail.
I used to have (at the time) one of the 20 highest viewed webcomics on the internet: "Mister Trioxin's Warren" (based off Vampire: the Masquerade), though that became defunct about 6 years ago.
I've been skinning video games for about 8 years now.
My most famous skins include:
-"World's Greatest Skinpack: Blu" for Team Fortress 2,
-"WH40K: WAAAAGH!" for Unreal Tournament 3,
-"Cartoony CTs" & "Cartoony Ts" for Counter-Strike: Source.
All in all, I've made skins for: Minecraft, CS:S, DOD:S, TF2, UT2004, UT3, GTA:SA, as well as a handful of other smaller games, and was even interviewed on FPSBanana as a "Skinning Legend"
I've also made hundreds of high quality sprays for Source Engine games, and created the "Outside the Border" spray style which has become the predominant style now-a-days.
Most of my old game skins and sprays can be found on my old Gamebanana Profile:
