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!
Okay, back to typing.  The […]

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

Draw.

Coming into your own as an artist/designer.

I’ve been reading a new blog lately called www.coolest-furniture.com.
Today they featured the Marshmallow Sofa which I thought was pretty cool.
I am fairly intuitive when it comes to creating things and I enjoy the process of creating something that can be used.

The view out my window….live.

I’ve been playing with a webcam lately and finally figured out how to stream video from it to the web. Eventually, I will probably do some art this way, but for now it’s pointed out the window which looks like I am in prison with the barbed wire around the water tower…lol.
The image to the […]
