First Impressions of the Wacom Intuos3.

ok, so I am writing this using my new tablet the first thing I notice is that it handles just bit differently than I imagined.  Getting character recognition to work correctly was fun.  I hear it is much easier in vista, but I am using XP - oh the joy!

I know it’s too early for this…but…

My apologies to […]

Planet Ozzin

Shai Coggins has just learned of a new planet from her 3 yr old son where the Kakadonks live.

Joyous Electric Art

Probably the most effective art tool in my arsenal is my music.
Today, it seems I’m in a particular mood.

Black = winamp/itunes
pink = windows media

Warning: may cause epileptic attack […]

I guess it’s been around awhile, but I only just found it via Dan over at www.EmptyEasel.com (by the way Dan, I love the new design…  I didn’t catch it when you put it up because I read your feed, but nice job).

How to create your own stonehenge.

I stumbled on this video earlier this morning and impressed with the sheer magnitude of the blocks being moved.  If creating huge installation work is something that you always wanted to try to do, this guy will show you how to do it.

How to make great color schemes for your blog, website, or project.

Awhile back I got some good feedback on an post I did about creating a logo for your blog.
