TABLET PC OMFG!


wacom cintiq.

I wanted one.

If you don't know what one is, it's a tablet (a drawing pad for you to use with your computer instead of a mouse). I dont know why I have to explain it, as anyone who would read my blog would most likely know what one is. w/e.
Lovely lovely machines.

But they are 1k, 2k$. I can't afford that shit.

I was however able to track down a Tablet laptop... A Toshiba Tecra (about 1k new... I paid $250 used from craigslist.)
I am so stoked.

Pretty much the same thing, but also a laptop, and much much cheaper.

This nice insaneo lovely technology is hopelessly wasted on me.
I have already used it to draw like 50 cats.


I'm thinking of selling prints/canvas prints on etsy, but I dont know if anyone would buy. I kind of serve an odd niche here, I dont know if anyone else is interested in the stuff I like to draw.
But whatever.
Just something I've been thinking about.


Anyway, I plan to name the Tecra laptop "Koobface" because of the Zombies! Organize!! song.

Koobface.
A nice song for a nice laptop.

My other laptop was a pink netbook, I named the Pettycoat 5 after this video:


My first laptop was named computrontop, because my main desktop is named Computron.
I dont know why. Don't ask me.

Yes, I name my computers. Just like I name my pipes, bongs, and car. Don't judge.


So, anyway, I spent much too long drawing this today.



This is maybe the kind of thing I'd think about putting up to sell as prints, but I'm not sure anyone would want to buy it (maybe $20 for a good print on streched canvas?) I do have other more whimsical drawings that people may be interested in.
Anyway, yeah- The tablet is wasted on me and would probably serve someone with more talent than I have much better. I'm not really using it to its full potential here.
But I fucking absolutely love it, and I keep wanting to draw stuff with it. The more I draw, the better i get (practice practice practice!)so, hopefully I can get good enough to maybe make enough money to eat from selling prints and shit. I'd love to be able to do that. Right now, thats daydream stuff, though. perhaps my sillier stuff would sell better without needing as much improvement as my more "serious" stuff (like this drawing) but I still want to improve overall.

But... This new computer enables me to draw more and makes me excited to doodle more.

HUZZAH!
I love this damn laptop so much.
