Artist Hideout

The video below struck me as pretty creative as it involves so many works of art morphing into each other with a common theme.
Enjoy.

I’ve been thinking about this for some time. And well, tonight finally decided to do it.
After reading probably at least half of the 91 reviews of the Intuos3 Wacom pen tablet and seeing the amazing amount of great feedback that this product is generating, I am taking the plunge.
With the average feedback being four and a half stars out of five with 91 reviews, I am feeling pretty confident about my purchase.
But, I will be using this day in and out maybe sometime next week. I will be putting it to the test in a very …read more

I recently hit on the idea to make a digital artwork that was the same width and posting requirements for my blog. One that was rendered specifically for the space but you had to scroll to get the full image. I hadn’t seen anything like this anywhere else. With that in mind, I am opening up the Artist Hideout Challenge.
Make an artwork that fits these dimensions (400px x 1300px) using any theme or software that you prefer. Submit it here and I will post it for inclusion. Be sure to include the name of the software you used to create …read more

Okay, I am one of those guys who changes my desktop wallpaper on a daily basis. Every now and then I can’t find one I like, so I make one.
This was put together using Bryce 3d and Jasc Paint Shop Pro and thought I’d share it with you.

As I was browsing through the woodworking tools at my local Sears store, I happened across the Carvewright. Branded as the CompuCarve for Sears

While this is a pretty cool concept the reviews for the Carvewright don’t seem to speak so well for it. At $1,800, well… I’d rather have something that works for a long period.
Check out some of the images from the carvewright site below:

I’ve been watching Walter’s site for the last month or so and have been really impressed. In fact, it’s made me want a tablet pc.
It’s a project to create 1000 sketches in a year on a tablet pc. So far, he’s at 404. Pretty good if you ask me. His subjects range far and wide between everything from architecture to horses to abstract.
Well worth a visit. It’s an ambitious project.

I have run across a free tool by Google called Google Sketch-Up (well, I did awhile ago and even used it in a recent post ) but I’ve recently realized that this is a great tool for us bloggers too. Here’s why?
Now not all of us are 3d graphical experts. Apparently Google knows that too. Intended for use primarily with Google Earth, Sketch-Up has some functionality that bloggers can use too. Hey, why not?
In addition to being able to create your own 3d model, there is a repository of models available via the 3d Warehouse.
For instance, I am doing an …read more
