» Art Inspiration Wednesday: Office Space Design

Today I’m doing things a little differently with the inspiration. There will still be images, but I’m focusing on home office desk space solutions. Currently I’m trying to de-clutter my desk so I can focus more on creating than where to relocate odds and ends.
Here are some home office design ideas that are inspiring me to rethink my home office layout.

Google's 5th Annual Doodle Contest Is Open

This is a great contest for kids to not only win a Wacom tablet, but a $30,000 scholarship for college. I wish I was young enough to enter!

The national winner receives a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for his or her school

Architect Stylus Better Than Wacom Stylus?

As much as I really like my Wacom stylus, I'm glad there are alternatives that can give the Wacom digitizers a run for their money.
Aluminum-machined styluses are all the rage these days, it seems, with Arctic Accessories’s $23 Architect Stylus the latest in a long line of impeccably-designed devices. But while the Architect may take its cues from Adonit’s line of capped pens and the sleek figure of Wacom’s Bamboo, the Architect winds up being in a class all its own.

Art Inspiration Wednesday!

Yes, I know it’s Thursday, but I’ve been sick with whatever nasty bug seems to be going around. Good news is that I feel well enough to post some pictures!

Jaja Stylus Uses Sound Waves to Detect Pressure

The Jaja is intended to be a more precise stylus for the Apple iPad.

The company is trying to raise money on Kickstarter. If you like being the first to buy new gadgets, then you might want to help them out since the first 500 people will be able to buy the Jaja for $40.
If you like to sketch on your iPad, you know there are a bunch of styluses on the market and coming out which try to improve upon the drawing and painting experience in apps like ArtRage.

Art Inspiration Wednesday! on Wacom Tablet Reviews

Well, I had a fun vacation and I hope everyone is having a happy 2012 so far. Unfortunately, my cat passed away while I was gone. For those who have pets, you know how much they affect our lives. She was 14 years old and died peacefully. She will be greatly missed. Since she’s on my mind, I hope you will forgive my inspiring art post today. It seems kind of silly to post cat art, but she’s on my mind a lot.

Rossmorr i23 HD Interactive Display Tablet Competes With the Wacom Cintiq 24HD

Rossmorr i23 HD Interactive Display Tablet seems like a reasonable competitor for the Wacom Cintiq 24HD.
Been eyeing the tablet sweetness that is the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, but not quite ready to make the financial investment that comes with it? Oregon-based Morgan Ross Egging has begun shipping the Rossmorr i23 HD. The 23-inch tablet offers up a 1920 x 1080 resolution (compare that the 24HD's 1920 x 1200) IPS display.

Active iPen Stylus

There are roughly one gazillion iPad styluses out there and – despite their stylistic differences – they all work in the same way: by mimicking your meaty fingers

Infinite Z Virtual Holographic 3D Display for Designers

Infinite Z has a zSpace product that uses a laser pen and 3D glasses to make you feel like you are designing in three dimensions. Pretty cool. I wish I could test one out. The price is steep though at $6000! I think I would still prefer a Cintiq 24HD.
At the recent “Autodesk University”, Infinite Z was there demonstrating their zScape product.  They call it a “virtual holographic display”, but from watching their video I would say it’s somewhat like a Wacom Cintiq with a 3D Display
