Messing about - still

This was messing about in Artflow.....

Still experimenting

Trying to sketch the living room with Meko stylus & Asus C302a - compared sketching with Surface Pro 4 and SP4 was considerably better although Meko stylus is the best there is for a non dedicated touchscreen.

Still experimenting

I've lost control. Had better find out how to use this thing.

Enjoying this

Can't believe it. I can use the stylus that I bought and I can draw on this Asus.

Sketchio & New Asus

Have been playing with drawing apps on the new Asus C302a - this is playing around with Sketchio.

Artflow + Phone + Stylus

Still messing about with drawing programs, stylus and surfaces......

Drawing on a device

I finally got a reply from Eglobalcentraluk after opening a dispute in paypal. They're going to refund my money. Then I found out that I couldn't buy the Samsung chromebook plus in the UK. Have been messing about with my Asus chromebook that doesn't support drawing and downloaded Infinity Painter. Drew the above with my fingers. Not satisfying enough. Am longing for a stylus that works.

Strife

I drew this in an Oxford pub years ago. Looks angry but for me it was a breakthrough - the first time I'd used colour. Up to that point - only charcoal. Thanks to my friend, Peter, who made me do it.

Strife was different then.

Now it's with Eglobalcentraluk - a minor kind of strife, I suppose. I paid for a Samsung plus chromebook from them a week ago but have heard nothing. Emailed twice. Nothing. The uk is a misnomer - they're based in Hong Kong. I hope it's not goodbye to my money but it might be. I should have been more careful and will be in future, but this is the very first time I've had any trouble buying online - including from China where I've bought several violins.

The Samsung Chromebook plus is supposed to be good for drawing on and I like being able to draw on a device. Here's hoping that I'll get my money back (or the goods) but my hope is fading.

Silver Drum

I'm playing Maybe Someday - it's an old Incredible String Band song - can you hear it?

Shadows

[Shadows - Aja Gap]

No news about my Samsung Plus - hope I haven't made a mistake ordering with EglobalCentralUK which turns out to be based in Hong Kong.

I'm messing about, staring into space, temporarily paused with The Man from Another Country wondering whether to continue with Dani as the main character or whether to switch to Esme. They'll both still retain their pov chapters but the main one gets the 'I' treatment, so far reserved for Dani. Still thinking about all this.

The snow's stopped. It was there last night. Gone this morning. Wet now.

Finished reading Ian McEwan's The Nutshell. It was clever, often lyrical, but the narrator (in the womb) often didn't feel believable because he was (mostly) dispassionate about his mother. When he said he loved her, it was almost as though he were reminding himself that he should.

Have started Giovanni's Room. Love James Baldwin. Hate the tiny print. Online reading has much to recommend it.
