Just saw one in action!!!!

AWWWEEESOOMMEE!!!!!

I just told my left hand that the right one wanted one!

hehehehe no offense Glenn, this post is in good taste, a toung in cheek so to speak on the post about the Edge,

I own an Edge and use my edge almost every day.

And today we gave to do a van for a customer that has a hand drawn cartoon of a rabbit that we drew for her about 4 years ago, I never took the time to input this cartoon into the computer, so every van we did we painted the graphic.

Well today she has a heavy window intensive mini-van and we are going to use the edge.

So I have to input the cartoon into the computer, so I take out my fancy dancy Wacom drawing tablet, pretty soon I realize that even though this is cool, I am going to clean up way too much, so I scan it in and try to trace it in Corel trace, NOPE! we got crappy results, next I try to trace it by hand with the mouse, that failed to produce good results either.

So to the brush box I go, tape a piece of paper up on board, draw it and outlined it in about 20 minutes with black poster paint.

Kinda funny huh? I had to rely on such low tech just to use my high tech.

I guess I'll just to have to buy the next mack upgrade when they release it.

I find myself scanning my own stuff more and more, I had a truck that needed a handpainted script and needed to be pearl blue, rather than hand letter it 3 times and spray it and all that jazz., I painted the script, scanned it in quick point minimizing and clean up and i added a bold outline and cut 3 masks reverse applied it rolled on the paint spraied a little pearl over it, peeled the mask and outlined it and outlined it all up. hey Pat how big is your scanner? Do you have to scan in pieces. or do you paint on 8 1/2" x 11"
