I picked up a Wacom Tablet about a month ago. I got the cheapest one available, the Bamboo. It’s entry-level, it’s not for serious artists but it’s a very sleek package for a beginner.

I’m playing tour guide this week. It gives me an insurmountable amount of joy to show my good friends from Australia, Lachlan and Geraldine, around Seattle.
