Wacom vs. Apple

I've been waiting to post this.  I haven't turned on my Wacom Mobile pro for months.  You all know what that means with a windows machine.  Updates...hours of them.  So here's what I'm thinking so far...

Wacom - 

Pros - full windows machine, great screen, great pencil, No batteries pencil, full photoshop, full illustrator.

Cons - Heavy, short battery, Hot..damn hot, full windows machine, won't correct pen issue in Sketchbook, full windows machine...oh wait did I say that already?

Apple -

Pro - light, great screen, simple os, runs Procreate, great screen.

Cons - not full photoshop, apple product.

I think you see where I'm going here.  I have two high powered pc's, do I need another?  Procreate is far superior.  Anyone want a Wacom Mobil pro?

So what's been up the last two years.

So what has been up these last couple of years?  Lots actually.  Lets see if we can recap this with pictures.  Lets catch up a bit.  These are the highlights that I found on my Google Photo's backup.

This is May 2018 - Dec 2018

As you can see I started playing with digital art work towards the end of the year.  I think Inktober that year was done entirely on my Samsung Note 8.

Memorable moment for 2018 - My oldest boy got married.

Jan 2019 - Dec 2019 - 

You see a trend?   Almost totally digital.  I did a lot more then this small sample.  However a lot of it was cars, and oddly enough buildings.

Other memorable items - Changed Jobs three times in one year.  Started GetOut designs and moved Mom to town.

Jan 2020 - Present

This should bring you up to the present.  There's a mix of digital, paint and vector art going on here.

What?! what's this? A new entry? Back from the dead? Well... Maybe.

 I'm wondering if I should keep this blog around.  Focus my attentions on just one.  I don't do as much bicycle art as I use to.  If I do it's almost always digital.  For instance I made up these wheels.  Created in Procreate on my Ipad pro - 

I can put almost any mountain bike on them.  I asked a few friends and was asked to put a Cromag Stylus on them.  Here's the result.

I still love drawing bikes.   It's just that with one blog I could put it all up there.  You tell me.  Keep or Discard?...well archive.

It's trainer time!

A commission I did for someone I've done a couple bikes for. It's still bike related at least.

Catch up time. March of Robots

So I saw this March of robots thing on Instagram and desided to give it a whirl.  These were a few of my favorites. All can be seen on my Instagram @zeroack

Goodship lollypop

Ok Ok it's not a lollypop.  It was a fun one to do however.  A return customer asked me to do his Fairdale Goodship. Did this one on some smooth paper.  Really like the way the water moves on this stuff.  Did this one a little larger then most of my other caricatures. 

Kate's Commission

I got a PM from a nice lady on Reddit.  Wondering if I'd do a drawing for her boyfriend.  I'd have to piece to gather the bike however.  She had stock pic's of the bags and bike and a few pics of the bike in action.  Some of the action pics she sent really captured the adventure spirit I think.  The use of what you have.  Any how here's how it turned out.  I was only suppose to do one.  I had to do two.  HAD TOO.
