Getting wacky with my Wacom

9/20/2011

Our new Home page header image
A change is as good as a holiday they say. Well, we've changed things up on Millerslocal - getting ourselves a new banner image for the Home page. Everyone used to moan about the old photo cos it showed a flat ocean....um, well, it generally always looks like that at Millers ou's!

Anyhow, a week ago I splashed out and spoilt myself with a new toy. It's called a Wacom Intous 4 - it's basically an etch-a-sketch on steroids. It's a tablet you draw on using a special pen, and as you draw, so it comes up on your screen. Pretty neat.

Only had my first bash at actually firing it up on Sunday, so have absolutely no idea how to drive it properly yet - just enough to be dangerous! As in I can draw an outline and colour it it, anything else a bit more finicky is lost on me. Not to be deterred, I dived right in and doodled us up a new pic.

Sort of Drew Brophy inspired (apologies to Drew) - a long way to go I know, but hell - it's such a fun thing to muck about with. Can see me wasting hours away when I should be working. Darn, when it was east I used to catch up on all my work -but now I have a new distraction for onshore days!

Keep watching this space, cos not only are we sprucing up our looks, there's soon to be some interesting new content on the way. But I can't tell you yet....you'll just have to wait!

*Drew Brophy is a famous surf artist who did all the board sprays for Lost surfboards at one stage.
