I love my Wacom Tablet and the ability to create directly within the computer environment. I scan a pencil drawing in to Photoshop, or begin drawing directly on the screen with various brush configurations. I worked on a collaborative piece with writer Thomas Cummings, a Hawai’ian folk story expert at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, HI. The story is Puapualenalena, Wizard Dog of the Waipi'o Valley which is due out in Autumn 2008 in the Trickster Anthology of Native American folk tales published by Littlefoot Press.
