Art - via the Computer I was looking up Corel's Painter, Photopaint and Wacom's Intuos Tablet, and came across some amazing art. Just a bit of background -- I've used all three of the tools before to create my own digital art, or to take something I created on paper, and take it to another level with the computer. Corel Painter used to be owned by a now defunct company called Fractal -- I've been using Painter since version 2.0. It's an amazing piece of software -- gives you a complete set of artist tools in a single application. Photopaint is like Photoshop. It started out being a photo manipulation tool, and slowly evolved to become more than that. The artsy types still prefer Photoshop -- only because it runs on a Mac, but I know Photopaint, so my preference remains there. Now check out some art created with the tools listed above:
  • LiQUidWerX - amazing art! Some fantasy, some nudity!
  • Portrait Artist - a site offering advice on how to draw, including a section on digital art.
  • CGChallenge - a site that documents artists using computers and a whole lot of software!
  • Mental Image - an artist using computers to create 2D as well as 3D works.
  • Quick Tips - here's some quick tips to make the most out of your Wacom Tablet!
  • Quick Tips - another quick tips page!

    Civil disobedience is called for

    Image
    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
