We are a part of our works and it reflects what our minds have been thinking about. Sometimes a dream of life is all we need to grow. I was fortunate enough to be exposed to great teachers at the Animation Institute in North Hollywood, California. Every thing that Walt did set a new higher standard. My fave quote from him upon surveying the new Park called "Disneyland" in Anaheim, CA : "Everything that you see here started with a little drawing of a mouse"... Walt Disney. "When you look at your work ask how it can be better" ... Jim Franzen, Disney Products. We are Artists with a capital A, but we are more than that. We create the illusion

Well  I settled on the Odesso Cyber tablet because it has more screen real estate. It's priced within our budget so were good!It seems to work fine, and it came out of the Silicon Valley area. Still have a good feeling about it after several weeks gone by. It works fine.  I like the big Wacom Tabs too but it's a lotta cool and more cash, it is almost like buying an easel and drawing board both. Eventually i'll get the great big one. It's top of the line.

With the advent of The New Wacom Intuos 5 things are moving in the right direction. iPad 3 seems better only if it can rotate and create greater tools on the fly. But both are good . I'm enjoying the new Cyber Tablet by Odesso. I have begun new Folio pieces.  I'll be getting into Children's book design, Sci Fi Art, and Game Environs Design as it relates to Film now. The advent of Google providing storage and other additional Storage space from Apple Inc is wonderful for backing up. James Walsh 2012
