I’m not a man of many appetites, you see. You could ask anyone. All I woud ask of Life is, maybe, being prosperous to the point of not having to work, ever, and possibly healthy and witty for another 80 years or so.
And I would be good: If I were rich I wouldn’t waste money in fancy cars, yachts and drugs. Nothing like that. I’d be content with what I have now, give something to the poor, be moderate and generous, and just buy Wacom products the very moment they are released.
Ok, there’s a shitload of other gadgets I’d waste money on, but the new Cintiq, gosh, have you seen it?
I’m not just fascinated by technology. I know I would simply be a better person if I owned one. I know I’m not asking much, it’s just $2499 for the 21″ version.

Look, I’m not even asking Life to get rich at this point, I’d be more than happy to have a rich friend who decides to buy me one. I’ll paint them a bloody portrait for Christ’s sake!

The sad thing (ok, first-world-sad) is that – lacking rich friends as I in fact do – I can’t even say “right, I’ll save money and I’ll buy it later”, because marvels of technology are usually released when two other conditions occur at the same time:
1- I have barely enough money to feed the lot I live with.
2 – I’m going through a period of shopping frenzy and I have alredy planned to buy ALL THE SHIT.

For example, I’ve also seen this a few weeks ago, and I MUST HAVE IT.
It’s the new Wacom Inkling, look how shiny it is.

Really, Life, be good to me. I would be like a proper artist, I’d carry it with me all the time, and I would roam through fields and meadows drawing the living crap out of trees and bunnies.
I’d be like one of those romantic painters, always strolling in the countryside and painting flowers and stuff. Except that I won’t be covered in paint all the time like a frickin primary school kid: I’ll get home, plug the thing into my computer and colour my drawings in photoshop.
Really, I need it!

I’ve also started going back to Life Drawing. As you can see from this link, the venue it’s no less than the King’s College in Cambridge.
I’d like to go there even if I couldn’t draw, just for the feeling you get of entering Hogswarth when you step through the gate.
I mean:

Going back to pencils made me fall in love again with traditional media, even if I’m afraid my short attention span and the lack of undos in real life will keep me solidly attached to my Wacom for professional work.
Nonetheless, I think I’ll try and divide my time between ZBrush, Photoshop and some proper paper and canvas in my spare time.

This, of course, counts as one of the things I’d like to spend money on and I won’t be able to afford for a long time.
I spent an hour shopping online for painting gear, and after I realised my shopping cart was already about 100 quid worth of brushes and paint, I decided to stick with just a couple of drawing pads for this month. Oh, and some coloured pencils, and this.

It’s a waterbrush, which implies you can use it to blend watercolour pencils without the need to carry water with you.
I think it’s pretty cool, I’ll practice with this for a while and then shift to proper watercolours when I’ll feel comfortable enough.
On always-awesome-James-Gurney’s Blog there’s a demo of himself painting a donkey with this technique.
Check it out, it’s nice even if you’re not into this sort on things, and he looks like a pretty decent bloke:)
