He might be doing some digital now (I’m no longer subscribed and I see some free digital sketches in there), but I know when I subscribed the final work was painted on canvas.

His favorite one of mine is titled “Breath of Adventure”, and I’m fortunate he shared a 4k scan that looks amazing on my monitor.

I spent $50 a year on wallpapers once as a monthly subscription. It was to support an independent artist that hand painted video game scenes I enjoyed, produced 1-3 new paintings per month, granted access to his back catalog, and the deliverable was high quality scans I could download and use at my leisure.

Since he is an artist, and you could feel that each painting took weeks to complete, I felt justified.

Never had a desire to pay for an app with generic wallpapers though, or to financially support someone who generates my annual salary per sponsorship deal.

Explorer tabs is a feature. One which should have been an update instead of an “upgrade”. That’s about it though.

Yep. I’m fortunate enough to be on the other side of the curve, but “it just breaks” when you first start tinkering. The average computer user who will never open the terminal will never run into this problem

So this is basically v3, and they’re trying to gain critical mass adoption vs Adobe.

I’m happy with my v2 for now, but I have a hunch if I migrate to “3” I’ll be modifying my hosts file in the future.

If you do find yourself using Gmail, I’d like to share with you a reminder that you can simply use a Mail client and bypass all ads and tabs nonsense.
