Is a lot of fun!
Custom Illustrator Brushes

I gave up trying to paint the actual shapes we needed for a current project, so I thought, why not just make them Illustrator brushes? I’ll post a step-by-step tutorial on how to import real brush strokes into Illustrator soon. It’s really simple with Illustrator CS2’s new features.

Techy3’s new lens needed a little test run, so I brought it along to the Pana’ewa Zoo. All of these are unretouched except for the blue frog and some minor cropping.

The Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 EX Macro Lens is a wonderful walk-around lens, and the added macro feature is a great addition! See more photos at my Pana’ewa Zoo Flickr Set.

Like I said, I am going to work hard at trying to equip others with what I feel are valuable resources that have truly helped me to grow in the art of videographer.

Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC Macro lens

Yes, it’s ordered and shipped 2nd day air, and I can’t wait to screw this on to my Canon. F2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, plus macro features! This will be one very versatile lens and will truly benefit techy3, I’m sure. :)

Sigma launched this lens just late last year.
