2006-04-30 Self Portrait<\/a>
Originally uploaded by royblumenthal<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n

I’m sitting at Codes in Rosebank playing with my new easel. It’s mounted on a camera tripod that I got from a junk shop.<\/p>\n

Hans at the Rosebank Flea Market makes a brilliant tabletop easel. He modified one to fit my tripod. This means I’ve got something sturdy enough to keep my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC safely mounted.<\/p>\n

All of which is a neat way of saying that I’m having great fun drawing in this coffee shop.<\/p>\n

I’ve downloaded Corel Painter 9, and I’m finding it vastly more powerful than Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.<\/p>\n

Now if Painter could get their brush resize tool to match Sketchbook’s, that would be perfect.<\/p>\n

My reference for this self portrait is a pic Eran Tahor took of me last night. I was visiting him and Jade at their new spot in Melville.
