I don’t maintain a list of blog subscribers or send newsletters, so if you’d like to be notified of when I post articles, there are 3 options:
- Join My Discord Server
This is my main hangout. I post daily content relevant to artists there – articles (not just my own), inspiration, art related memes, art resources, and I also chat socially with those on the Discord. - Follow me on Substack
I post summaries of my blog posts on Substack, and I also restack articles I find interesting. - Follow my Flipboard Magazine
I have a magazine called RoxyLovesArt where I collate articles I find interesting. These are typically art related and anti ai.
New PC for Art
Specs of my PC which I use for daily art and design.

The brush lag in Corel Painter was particularly bad, even though this old benchmark claims brush performance will be exceptional, it really wasn’t…
For comparison, here’s my new benchmark…
My new PC runs Corel Painter way better, so just doing this quick little post to document my new specs in case there are other artists out there that are in the market for an upgrade:
