As I said in a recent post, I’ve been drawing a lot lately, and really enjoying it. Being a techie, of course I integrate technology w/ art. I draw in my moleskine sketch book and then I scan or take pix of my sketches and then send them to flickr and also I poste them on a new Art Blog I created. I go online and look at other people’s drawings for inspiration, and participate in art message boards. I recently ordered and recieved a USB Drawing Tablet (a Wacom Graphire 6×8) and downloaded a fantastic free program called ArtRage2 (which is only $20 for the full version). Using that w/ the wacom tablet is AWESOME. And then today I had yet another idea. Install ArtRage2 on my teeny tiny laptop (Fujitsu P1510) because it’s a TABLET LAPTOP so it would be like virtual painting!! Anyway, I am having so much fun w/ this.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, and if you LOVE art and tech and have more money than I do, CHECK THIS OUT:

I have been drawing A LOT, and it’s been very theraputic… calming… enjoyable.

Because trying to keep up with maintaining a hundred blogs isn’t enough:
I’ve started an art blog.
I set this up just for my artwork.
How many blogs do I have? Good god…
main blog (this one), friends and family blog, photoblog, backyard blog, travel blog, dog blog, fitness blog, cat blog… what am I forgetting? …and now an art blog.
In the top photo of that blog is my laptop, my moleskine, a starbucks cup, a diet cokie, and my travel colored pencils. That shot sums me up pretty well.
