Ustreaming your desktop on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Blog: March 22nd, 2009

I just spent a few hours today figuring out the most efficient method for broadcasting my drawing of A Moment of Clarity out to the world using Ustream. A lot of other comic artists do this on a regular basis, and so I wanted to join in on the fun.

Behold the busted CCD!

Blog: July 3rd, 2008

Yes, this is the output from my trusty Canon PowerShot S1 IS, as I was about to photograph some old stuff for posterity before I get rid of it (a controversial idea, I know, but what am I really going to do with a guide to AmigaDOS 2.0 and some really bad paintings from college?).  [...]
