I don't really give a hoot about pressure sensitivity either. Mostly because I use Illustrator. Yes! Exactly why I prefer to work on a small tablet as well.

Most of the time I sketch right into Illustrator with my tablet. I'll sketch in a light blue and then lock that layer and continue. If I have a piece that I did with traditional materials I'll scan it, reduce the opacity, and trace over that. So, I'm looking at just my screen when I work. I've never used a screen tablet before so I can't really speak first hand on how those perform. But I know some people do prefer them because they are closer to using traditional materials. Those types of tablets are on the pricey side, and I don't know of any that are portable.

do you have any prints of the a wilhelm scream/heartsounds one you made ? also I envy all of you're work if I could ever put down on paper what i want to put out these would come close to my vision. Thanks so much I have a few digital 11 x 17 prints left over. PM if you want one.

Mine is: @cassiepodish I'll be adding you folks to my feed.

I've actually been looking at tablets quite a bit lately (Wacom, etc) and have seriously debated getting one but judging by the pens, I assumed my efforts on one would be clumsy at best given the level of detail I put into my stuff (lots of dots and minuscule lines and whatnot) but all of the line work in that Mixtapes cover looks super clean - what would you suggest I look into? Could I retain a moderate degree of the detail I already have in my stuff by supplementing with a tablet? I use the Wacom tablets. I mostly use this model: http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Silver-Tabl....07997&sr=8- 110 I prefer the smaller tablets, not sure why. It just feels a lot more comfortable for me. Your work does contain a lot of detail but honestly you shouldn't have a problem achieving the same results with a tablet. It will probably take some time to get comfortable with the tablet pen but you can get the same effects as a pen on paper. I would even suggest you use a custom brush for your effects...it could save a lot of time. I use a custom brush for my stippling. Like in the Circa Survive butterfly (above). Certainly it's not at the same level of detail you use but you get the idea.

Recently gave into paying 5 bucks for Garage Band and it was totally worth it. I waste too much time now with that app. Garage Band Etsy Waze (traffic/gps app) Yelp Amazon Adobe Ideas (wish they made a pen for this) Instagram Just installed the vinyl district, sounds pretty cool.

Appreciate the nice feedback everyone Kriss, it's nice to experiment with different techniques but whatever makes you comfortable is always best. Some artist prefer to illustrate with traditional materials and then scan into their program of choice. I prefer to illustrate everything right into Illustrator with my tablet. I still love to illustrate with traditional materials, but I find this way is much faster for merchandise work etc. Let's keep this thread rolling! Here's an Christmas present I made for my guy because he loves Breaking Bad and tattoos. http://cassiepodish.tumblr.com/#14343623901

I think I'm just going to give up sending packages. UPS just sent the x-mas gifts that I sent to my little brother to the wrong house. It was mostly the cashiers fault, and the asshole neighbor for keeping a package that isn't addressed to him. People bum me out sometimes.

Some of mine: Mixtapes Maps & Companions by cassiepodish, on Flickr Circa Survive Butterfly by cassiepodish, on Flickr A Wilhelm Scream/Heartsounds gig poster by cassiepodish, on Flickr I've got a bunch more but don't want to flood the thread.

Made this for my guy: http://cassiepodish.tumblr.com/#14343623901 Also got him some vinyl and stuff. He knows he's getting a Decendents x-mas sweater since it will have to be worn on the holidays.

^thanks! Got one for my guy.

Looks like they just printed on a crewneck sweatshirt.

tumblr would be great as well. You could use it temporarily until you get a site up. Plus networking on tumblr is really easy.

thank ya

Cool stuff in here. Here's some of my stuff: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cassie-Podish-Illustration-and-Design/110522112390503 Re-building my portfolio website at the moment. But some of my work is in that link.

I want a free falafel sandwhich. Falafel is so yummy.

I don't think the wait will be as long as waiting from the end of season 3 to 4. The end of season 3 and waiting a year to find out what happens killed me But I'm satisfied with how things wrapped up at the end of this season.

A similar gathering is apparently happening here in Norfolk too. http://www.facebook.com/groups/295663580449721/ I have been hearing a lot about this local gathering, and of course the one in NYC. This article was published on a local website: http://www.altdaily.com/blogs/news-blogs....n -nov-8th.html Needless to say it pissed a lot of people off, but there are a lot of good points mentioned in this article.

I know! They will do a great job for the final season I'm confident of that.

omgposters is great for poster release news. Sometimes I find cool stuff in the Gigposters classifieds. Spoke Art has some cool stuff especially from that Coen Bros/Tarantino show: http://store.spoke-art.com/category/quentin-vs-coen-prints Society 6 is a great place to discover new artist. You could look over the Movie/TV section: http://society6.com/prints/movies-tv Mondo is also cool but you have to catch those posters fast because they usually sell pretty quickly. Especially when they do a Stout. http://blog.mondotees.com/

What?! I've been waiting since season 1 for Jesse to beat the shit out of Walt. Walt has no game now. He has become really weak in my opinion. And Gus runs the operation of course he tells other people what to do. He really had no choice but to send one of his cooks there...we have seen how the cartel works. But what went down in the last episode proves to me that he is thinking about everyone in his operation especially Jesse. That ending...I hate waiting a week to see what happens next. It was torture waiting a whole year between seasons I really hope that doesn't happen again.

I was about to say Facebook is starting to remind me of Myspace when they reformatted the site every damn week. The feed was perfectly fine the way it was.

Thanks! The Ron Swanson pyramid of greatness is my desktop. My favorite is "greatness itself: the best revenge".

I just put some of my prints up at Society 6. Does anyone else use this site? There's free shipping on purchases until Sunday. http://society6.com/CassiePodish
