Wacom Pendulum Art

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Pocket-sized has made interesting use of a Wacom Tablet making a pendulum out of the stylus and capturing the lines. Don’t know what a Wacom Tablet is? It’s a pressure sensitive tablet (input device) that allows the user to draw with a stylus and capture the marks. As a proud owner of a Wacom, I have to say that you just don’t realize how restrictive the standard mouse is until you lock and load one of these babies.

Yes, you’ve seen photos of female bodybuilders before. No big deal, right? But these photos show me something I’ve never seen before…the stark determination to stop at nothing to achieve the goal…no matter the price tag.

While these pics show us the type of women that most of us will never know personally and therefore lay on the fringe of our understanding, you’ve got to admire the true grit it takes to do what they’ve done. The photos, while rather ghoulish in their portrayal, show us every detail of this unique personality’s nature and drive.
