Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net

So Wacom finally decided to pull the plug on my Cintiq 13HD. Kind of a barbaric move but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to ensure continued support, either through a plugin or something of a similar vein. Any input would be appreciated.

Artists, show what built your style! It was hard to choose but finally I went with: Nature, John Bauer, Moomin and Ivan Bilibin. #art

Artists, show what built your style! Couldn't decide on the fourth one but I feel the first 3 are pretty clear

Summer is here, and life has been full of everything. It's still hard to find energy to actually do the duties I'm supposed to. I often find myself just wanting to sit down and stare out of the window, endlesly. I wish I had the luxury to do nothing, but sadly that's not my part in here.

Interesting 🧵 about social media and interactions. FB, IG, X, TikTok, YT shorts etc want people to look and endlessly scroll. A user can see 100 posts but none of them are really important. It's why IG doesn't show you the people follow and it's all about "the algorithm" and not follows

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Some suggestions for notebooks in pocket format that are NOT Moleskine. It's a thread 🧵 ⬇️

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

I was going to list this on eBay but it’s not worth a whole lot and I would like to see it go to an artist that needs it. This is a Canon T3i that comes w two batteries, a charger, strap and an external flash. The auto focus is busted on the lens so it is manual only. $100 OBO w free US shipping.

Rather enjoying my rather recursive current process of painting directly over a printed out digital sketch/underpainting, then finishing the resulting piece digitally again. Digital work allows me to figure out a piece as I work on it, but it cannot match the texture and colour of real materials.

I can proudly say that none of my comics or stories will EVER "appeal to everyone" what creative would ever want that for their work, how horrendous. There's a difference between wanting your work to be enjoyed by many and "appealing to everyone" GOD all this makes me so MAD

Tonight I have lost my mother, after a sudden finding of a fierce and advanced, already incurable illness. I have no words. Simply the endless sadness, a knowledge that from now on, no-one will ever love me as deeply and dearly as she did. I feel alone and lost, but try to live on for my child ❤️
