Wacom 15x PL 550 LCD tablet
todays update is about a Wacom tablet I used to have. It was a gift from a very good friend from the post art school days. A buddy of mine was running his own animation studio out of his apartment and could pay for help from time to time on his projects. I would go for the day and help him animate and composite stuff. His home studio was and still is impressive. One of the first real hustlers I met on the freelance scene.
His set up was three work stations in a tiny tiny room. Three because it was that tiny, call it a half room. He built his studio over the years and did it all with used tech. I was impressed by his philosophy which was, “you dont need all the new stuff, old stuff is cheap and it works just fine” this was such a impressionable moment for me, I knew this already but I never really thought much about it and this was the first time I say it being applied in the real world. Seeing his builds and his dedicationI was really humbling.
This leads to the post, he gave me my first drawing table. I had a wacom bamboo that i had used since about 2009 but this was my first LCD screen. I went on to create two short cartoons “GERMS & APC’S Space Show” while using it in 2014-2017 and many doodles and other animation things. I have since moved on from this tech for over 2 years now, I am now working with a friends Wacom 13in Cintiq. It is used and works just fine.
I just want to say thank you to my friends Berdian and Elmer, my work is possible in part because of you guys support, I appreciate you both! RIP to the tablet it served me very well but it was time to let go, making room for the next gen in my home studio.
Graphic design ads
todays update is a few beautiful ads from a book at my art schools library. one of the pros of attending art school is the abundance of art books. I dont remember the name of the book.

I spent 8 hours in Oslo, Norway in 2016. This was the first stop on the Eurotrip. It was cold but super cool to see after 8 hours of being on a plane trying to sleep. All images where shot on an iphone 4s. great phone, miss when phones use to fit comfortably in pockets.

In 2016 I took my first trip to Europe with friends. We spent a few days in Amsterdam. The culture shock was intense but in the best of ways. Below are a few pictures, I have many more which I hope to upload in time.
