It takes a fair while to do but the results are worth it, here's my first attempt at a decent airbrushing so far :eek:

I got the wacom graphire 3, 6x8 for $149 at harvey norman penrith (i wasn't really shopping around). They had the new graphire 4 there (they were trying to get rid of all their graphire 3's i think)... which was $100 more for as far as I could tell by the specs almost the exact same thing (i only want a better pen).

Yeah, they are. I work at the IT department of Officeworks, and the Wacom Graphire 3s went on Sell-Through (discontinued line) ages ago. If they don't sell, they go on retail-quitcycle.. and as far as I know for Officeworks atleast, it can reach $0 if no one buys it for long enough.

Anyhow, I got a laptop a week ago.. and I wanna start getting into Photoshop. Remember the last time I said that? Well I'm serious this time.. and if you don't help me I'm gonna butt rape you NTB. :)

Confidential ;) But call up North Ryde & Artarmon, they're huge stores. If they don't have it, tell whoever's on the phone to check on 'SAP', an administrative intranet system which allows them to check stock levels of any other store (among many other functions). Assuming you've found a store with some in stock and you don't have access to a car, ring up the nearest Officeworks to you and ask them to 'STO' (store transfer) one from whichever store has it in stock to your store. I think my store has sold out completely, but these Wacoms have been on Quit-Cycle for ages now.. God they must be so cheap.
