Did the scary thing after an appointment: had a solo brunch with my e-reader. Food was yummy, read a big bunch of my book and now vibrating of all the sugars from the Chai Latte. This was a good morning!

‘Obsolete this, obsolete that.’
NO! My Intuos 4 is my saviour with my new Mac Mini 4

I’m not getting the Wacom Cintiq 2016 to work and my funds for a new screen tablet is €0 so I rememberd my trusty Intuos and made it work 😭

Hate how wasteful tech is within 10 years! 😫

Sad part of the craft fair is the fact that there are multiple full AI images sellers. No mentions of it anywhere of course and they won’t so I’ll just make it clear mine isn’t.
