Wacom Cintiq vs the iPad: A Comprehensive Comparison

By YamPuff Oct 25, 2024 6 Comments
Last summer, I finally caved and bought an iPad. I couldn’t help it—I had watched too many Instagram reels and Tiktoks of people creating art on Procreate, and I wanted in on the action. It was not a decision I made lightly, however. When it comes to my drawing tools, I am picky. And while I adore my Wacom Cintiq, I was eager to explore new options and see what else was out there. If you've been considering starting digital art and are unsure whether an iPad or a display tablet is the right fit for you, you're in the…

It's that time again - the Holidays are here and Etsy has decided to permanently disable my shop for unclear reasons. Yes, the Etsy shop I have been running since early 2007 is gone, most likely forever, without even a proper reason from Etsy as to why, right at the most important time of the year for small business runners like me.

By YamPuff Oct 20, 2018 5 Comments
Websites like Zazzle, Redbubble, Society6 and such are attractive for a multitude of reasons. Risk-free passive income is probably the most alluring aspect. The concept is simple enough; upload your art or designs on various items like t-shirts, mugs, and stickers, then get a share of the profits! Simple right? But as anyone who has ever given it a go will know, it's not quite so simple. I've achieved enough success on Zazzle to have earned a Bronze Pro Seller badge, so I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned along the way. So here's what I wish…
