It's not the size of your brush...

Cue "It's In The Way That You Use It" (and good luck getting that out of your head):  Illustrator Bob Stakke uses Photoshop 3.0 (no, not CS3--the one from '94) to create some great-looking characters.  In a tech-saturated, next-next-next-oriented world, it's nice to be reminded that creativity comes from people, not from machines and other tools.

Shakespeare could have rocked out in WordStar, and heck, you can draw Scarlett Johansson using MS Paint if you'd like.  That's not to say that new tools don't enable tons of new things, of course, and hopefully let creativity flow more freely.  It's just a reminder that a car is nothing without its driver.  [Via Doug Nelson]

Speaking of Photoshop demos, "You Suck At Photoshop" returns with volume 2 of its depresso-funny PS stylings.  No "shaggin' wagon" this time, but there is some territory-marking. [Via Clare McLean]

Well said........its the talent of the people......not the "glitzy" software. A mind is a terrible thing to lose.
