Yay!!
Yay! I got my Wacom in the mail today. I have an art tablet!
For any of you who might not know what that is, it’s a yummy little piece of hardware, a thin slab of silvery metal, with an area that corresponds to the computer screen, and a little pen-like tool you can use to draw on the computer with. Much like when you sign your name on those little screens after using your credit card. Except you can use the pen just like a regular mouse for anything. And you don’t have to unplug your mouse to use it…it’s USB so after you install it you just plug it in and unplug it and take go take it somewhere else if you want to…
Anyway. Most of you probably know what it is and are laughing at my description of it. In any case, I am fucking excited to be using this, because this means no more hand-cramps while drawing with the mouse! This means I can draw in the evenings and on weekends when Dan is using his computer, because I can hook this up to my laptop! So I’m ecstatic.
By the way, I’ve finally set up a DeviantArt account. I haven’t put anything up there that I haven’t put up here…not yet, anyway, but I’m really getting addicted to the website. I love browsing through everyone’s art and adding to my favorites. You can browse through my favorite art from my page, too. Here’s the link: My DeviantArt There’s also a link under “About Me” on the right.
I’ve got to find Ratboy’s Deviant ID… they don’t have easy-to-use search mechanisms there.
AND, I’d better get my homework done. It’s been a beautiful day in sunny 70-degree Seattle. All silver and blue and smelling like flowers. *happy sigh*
