A little while ago my friend bought a picture from a thrift store so he could paint over it. A couple people on myspace thought this was a bad idea, but meh. I was able to mess around with the picture and his paints for a while. I haven't touched paint in... I don't even know how many years, and it was exhilarating. I've never understood why some people swear by paints and abhor the graphics tablet but now I have some sort of idea what they mean. The tangibility of the paint is almost spiritual; you have to move your entire body to paint, your whole self goes into creating the artwork. It's a bit more difficult than my tablet but boy is it rewarding.
