Art Inspiration Wednesday! on Wacom Tablet Reviews

I'm awake way too early and feel like a zombie. That's my inspiration for today's zombie art. Now I think I'll go have some brains for breakfast.

See the undead art!

I can't vouch for Dell's online customer service since I've never bought anything from them, but I bet they aren't bad. Hrm, even if they have poor customer service, I'd still recommend buying this Bamboo pen tablet. It's too great of a discount to pass up!

Watch the video review on boingboing.net or read it on crabfu.com!

My friend I-Wei Huang, who makes steam powered remote-controlled vehicles, and also designed all the characters in Sklylanders, reviewed the Wacom Inkling, a drawing pen that digitizes your sketches. He likes it, but has some problems with it.

Wacom Drivers For X.org Updated

For Linux users

Find all the drivers and everything else you need for configuring and running Wacom tablets under the Linux operating system.

The awesome folks in the linuxwacom project silently released an update last week that they've been working on for past half a year or so.

The new version marks the return of supporting each additional pen as a separate device. This feature was earlier lost in the X.org driver when hotplug settled in. The resurrection chant was sung by Alexia of GIMP fame.

Digital Signature Capture Solutions

To small business owners, it's time to upgrade to digital signature capturing. Who wants to keep track of a bunch of paper anyway?

Many industries are dependent on capturing a signature on a document as part of a transaction. For very small businesses the easiest way to get a signature is to have the person signing, to sign a paper form. However, this manual process means that the capture signature is often not able to be capture throughout the organization and stored for future retrieval.

GameDev.net Forum Thread About Wacom

More proof that Wacom is the preferred tablet of graphic designers and digital artists! Read the full thread at GameDev.net.

I considered buying a tablet. I’ve heard here and there that WACOM is one of the best choices to make. Since I am planning to use a tablet mainly with Photoshop and rarely Autodesk products I read the certifications in the official websites. I, however, thought it would be better if I asked “know how” people about the choice of a tablet.
