obviously, when arjen and i stumbled across the amazing cintiq 21UX at the mediamarkt in utrecht (a gigantic electronica store), i had to leave behind a portrait of arjen and some shameless self-promotion. all for kicks, of course. but it did get me thinking… i really want this thing. it was amazing! should i get it?! anyone out there with tips or experiences to share on the cintiqs?

  10. leafier said: A temporary job allowed me to work on one for 3 months. It definitely sped up the working process, but I got concerned over how dry my face felt after a while’s use and how sitting so close to a bright screen for hours on end affected my sight.

  12. gimmeallthesugar said: It might help your hand/arm.
  13. ninthorange said: yes, definitely! best money I ever spent (and it took a long time to convince myself to part with all that cash). i bought it with the ergotron lx mount. but you will never want to use an intuos again… :)
