When my older artworks need to be taken behind the barn and shot (i.e. eradicated from all the art-sharing sites), they grow their wings, put on their halos, and fly here: The Cringe Museum.
Please enjoy, and have a laugh at my expense.

My first ever digital artwork, using a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. I posted this to my DeviantArt page immediately and gave my parents running updates on how many more views it received for the rest of the afternoon. My parents, stone-faced, told me they loved it and couldn’t wait to see the next one, those beautiful liars.

This was the year I invested $700 on a Wacom Cintiq. (About a month of my pay, working as a casual bartender).
The Cintiq removed the hand-eye coordination issue I’d been struggling with while using the Wacom Bamboo (drawing in one place and seeing my mark in another on the screen). Immediately, digital drawing felt easier. This was when my quality noticeably jumped, when the mark I was making was back directly under my pen tip.
