Art Inspiration
The Art of Ratatouille
The Art of Deanna Marsigliese I just caught this over at Stuart Ng Books (click on the link and scroll down the page a little to view the book). I’m not totally familiar with the artist, but this sketchbook looks great. I also found a good interview with Deanna here: http://deanna-marsigliese-interview.blogspot.com/
Funny Arts
The True Meaning of Smekday
Surf’s Up
Just for Giggles
USB Fridge Good for freelancers who work late nights, and need a Coke.
Not in Santa’s budget, but I can still dream.
Wacom Cintiq 12WX It’s expensive, but not $3000 expensive like its counterpart. Yippeee!
iPhone, anyone?
Please share your own must-have’s, wishes, and discoveries in the comments section.
Also, be sure to leave your feedback on previous Question posts, What are your favorite artist websites? and What do you paint on?

oh forget the cintiq and iphone, I am strangely atttracted to that USB Fridge!!!
On my list, I could really use some sort of backup system/harddrive and a fancy printer to make prints of my work.

All of these things are great, but all I really want is a new room in my house so that I can have an actual studio instead of having all my art/computer gear flung across my living room

I need a big corner L-desk with lots of surface area, a big lateral file cabinet, and some kind of network-attached storage device so it doesn’t matter if I work on my desktop or my laptop, I still use the same files stored in the same place!

Well, I’ve got most of what I want for Christmas. I’m getting the Nintendo DS Lite this holiday season to use it as a digital sketchbook. That’s right, a digital sketchbook. I found a link from this site to the following blog. http://www.linesandcolors.com/2007/11/26/colors-and-inchworm-digital-painting-applications-for-nintendo-ds/ That will get you started on a whole new way of creating your art. The Nintendo DS Lite has a touch sensitive screen that you can use a stylus on much like the Wacom Cintiq 12WX. Just a whole lot less expensive. $130. I’ve got the Datel Games ‘n Music DS ($19.99 @ Wal-mart) to install the program onto the DS Lite. The aforementioned site has links to all the info you’ll need to get this up and running on the DS Lite. Oh btw, the program’s name is “Colors! v1.06″ It won’t replace Photoshop or Painter but, for a small portable painting station you take nearly take anywhere it’s pretty good. If only Nintendo would make the screens a little larger and pump up the rez that would be nice.
