How d'ya do.

So I got a tablet for my anniversary present. My fault, really. I'd dropped enough hints (e-mailing the specific web page to one's spouse counts as a hint, right?). Little did I realize the gap in methods between drawing with a tablet and scribbling with a pencil in a sketchpad. The realization was a bit jarring, to say the least.

But I'm determined to conquer this beast. This blog will serve as a tool to that end, and, hopefully, a document of progress.

This is, first and foremost, an art blog. I'll try to keep socio-political commentary to a dead minimum (no promises if something truly head-explodingly infuriating happens that I cannot let pass without comment), and ask that visitors do the same.

Constructive criticism, technical input, and cheap advice are always welcome. Trolls will be banned with extreme prejudice and zero tolerance. I've got enough voices in the back of my head telling me that I suck without some anonymous troublemaker adding to the chorus.


So, that's introductions made. Let's see if I can make something out of this.
