In 2025, intuos 5 & onwards are all solid options, secondhand is nothing to scoff at.

Anyway my intuos 5 has been lasting me 15 years and counting, it's incredibly solid & reliable. I've used intuos 4 but it's a bit clunkier and I prefer the thicker pens.

Share your insights too if you like ~

Here's my rec: If you're just starting out and unsure if it is for you, absolutely go as cheap as possible, even a Small.

If you're sure you want to commit, I highly recommend a Medium size, for ergonomics alone. (cont.)

As professional artist, I've never needed more than 2048 pressure sensitivity levels, in fact I barely feel a difference above that. The latency is also virtually non-existent.

Unless you need bluetooth for whatever reason, buying an older model for cheap secondhand is a great shout! (cont.)

Graphic tablets insights for beginner artists 🎨

Wacom is having a sale, and as far as non-screen-tablets go, they are easily my fave.

BUT before you check on the sale, let me tell you you absolutely don't need an expensive or even new one !!

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.

Jack Sapoch @jacksapoch.bsky.social · 6d

We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Scans of parking lots, antennas, and pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL

-RIGHT-
-NOW-

the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!

Tuta @tuta.com · 11d

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.
