Wacom Inkling Pen

Well, this isn't a full out review of the inkling, because I've only had it a few days. I had some trouble exporting from it on my old version of Adobe Suite, but I have CS4 at my office, and that seems to be working fine.

Here is a cartoon sketch using the inkling.

He's my evil Santa Claus. I am still playing around with some exports from Illustrator. I'm hoping to take him home and color him in Gimp. More Santa Claus editing later. I still think this turned out pretty neat. When used on the right paper, the inkling does nice sketches.

I used it on trace paper today at work. It wasn't as pleasant of a sketching experience. Here are a few shots from today:

Root Health Coaching Logo Design

I just finished a logo design for a friend who started a family health coaching business in Fayetteville. It was a fun project, and I'm happy with the final product!

Here are some preliminary sketches:

If you would like to check out the business, see their website here.

Will the Pandemic Bring Back Blogs?

Over the last several years, I've seen bloggers reduce content, switch to YouTube or Instagram, or simply stop. I was among them. I ran a food blog for years, but after the birth of my first child, I couldn't keep up.

Well, that life seems like another world as the cases and deaths from Covid-19, caused by the coronavirus that is tearing across the world, are rising daily. The White House is telling America this morning to brace for their, "Pearl Harbor or 911 moment," and it's very scary.

A lot of us who deal with stress by processing through our art are coming back to the internet, back to blogs. Most of us are self quarantining, isolated inside our homes for weeks on end. I'll be the first to say that I don't have a lot of free time in our endless confinement. My husband and I are frantically trying to keep our two humans under the age of four happy, fed, and healthy. We're four weeks in and going a bit stir crazy. Every time we get a groc…
