--> I lost the pen for my Wacom tablet around the new year and haven't done much drawing since. I finally gave up the search and bought a new one this week.

It arrived today and I promptly spooged out a decent drawing for my last mixit. It's my first attempt at doing digital shading, light sources, and even a little dabbling in color. This is also available under my new release, but the flash player is playing the wrong song at the time of this blog posting. I submitted a bug. You can hear the track in the emRadio playlist though.

This is dedicated to Zanf for telling my to stop stinking it up making music and get back to drawing. You drove me to buying the replacement, ya geezer.

ooh...thank you but you also inspired me to get back on the music after that long chat we had about it that day on IM. you really are a very talented artist. its just a shame that you are such an objectionable person in real life ;)

I love the effect on the tree on the left of the pic. the whole pic has a good sense of action and movement.

i want more so keep it up and start using the tablet as a controller as well. link

I saw this site the other day and it reminded me of the second one:

Nice. What Wacom is it? I have the cheapo Volito that I bought a few years back, but it seems to have stopped drawing straight lines - the cursor wobbles all over the place! Might have to get a better one.

Great links! Dusso's Star Wars stuff has me mezmorized. New wallpapers!! Also, i've thought about using the wacom as a midi controller for a while now, that's great! Thanks, man.

usborne- I have an old Intuos 12x9. It's from the first series of the Intuos.

It is if you find paintings of underwater reefs super cheesy.
You should check it out... it's mind boggingly fun to paint with the Wacom tablet in Painter...

Very ace, maeng. I stronly recommend you do some sort of cool art installation with music and drawing both. Having both talents really allows you to do a lot more.

pretty stuff. I've been back into the visual art lately as well. maybe I should go digital. I still use analogue pencils and paper and a scanner. I could knock out that middle step.
