Birth Tablet PC (Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.0) 800 x 1000 pixels 2007

A Tablet PC is a laptop computer with a special screen designed to interact with a stylus. It enables it's users to manipulate applications with a pen instead of a mouse or a keyboard. Some of the difficulties involved in drawing with a stylus are accounting for any visual distortion caused by the thickness of the screen's glass and magnetic interference from the underlying hardware. Overcoming the difficulties of drawing accurately as real pen and paper requires time and patience.

It took over a year and a half to draw Birth on the Tablet PC.


The Tablet PC is a tool with a set range of uses and behaviors. In the same way a palette, a tube of paint, or a Kolinksi sable brush is. The only difference is that a computer can be programmed to a wider range of applications than a paint brush. Learning, using, and mastering the technology behind digital mediums takes no less effort than mastering ink drawing, printing, oil painting, or sculpting.
