My state of the art (four years ago) laptop is really showing its ago now. Can't blame it. It's been hard working and has delivered well thru these years, but alas, it's time to upgrade.
For all the tech geeks out there. The image above is the product of only 1 hours work on a duo core 2.5 Ghz laptop running photoshop 6 on windows 7. Image is 150 dpi, 8bit RGB, and only 3 layers... And my poor laptop was having trouble keeping up with my brush strokes. Poor thing =(. Obviously a ways to go before it start looking like the way I want it too, but it'll never get there with what I have now.
So I'm off to my hardware dealer and to talk about a new desktop. I need the horsepower to take my work to the next level. Only place I see that my pencil skills would fit best is the comic book industry. Of course I still plan on perusing the comics thing in a big way, but certain opportunities have come about that require me to embrace digital.
Far be it for me to ignore destiny when it walks up and kicks me square in the nuts.

Now that you have your new toy, can't wait to see your cool new digital artwork. Yeah, a comic book sounds like a good idea. ;-)
