Pixar - Exorcist mashup: The Pixarcist

Okay, I had to goof off, and blow off a little steam, especially after seeing that "Pixar Fest" is coming to Disneyland. Surprised no one else has thought of this!

With apologies to director William Friedkin,
and writer William Peter Blatty.

And of course, apologies to Ed Catmull, John Lasseter and Steve Jobs.
And I forgot about Woody doing the head turn thing!

The First Cintiq

(The first Cintiq from 2001?)
 
An issue came up where no one could recall exactly when the first Cintiq appeared on the scene. After some digging, this PC Magazine article from January 15, 2002 sings the praises of the new device as a practical drawing tablet where the artist actually can see their art directly on the tablet.

 So I'm assuming this 15 inch unit with 512 levels of sensitivity came out in 2001. It's more of a trivial pursuit, but if anyone has an earlier sighting of a video drawing tablet, please let me know here. Technology changes so fast, and in my job I need to keep track of this.

Here's Wacom's new Cintiq 21from February 18, 2005.

The Mobile Studio Pro is pretty awesome!

 Phenomenal student work from USC's animation department! A bit chopped up so the viewer only gets a tiny taste of each project, but worth further investigation. Try the Vimeo link below if the embedded video is still blocked.
