The video is 2-5 minutes but it takes 2-10 hours to paint. I just wish I had the know-how to do it. I could always learn but the old fashion way has worked pretty well for me so far.

Tony, I think you should try and get into some digital art, I am sure you could do some really killer stuff with it. A friend of mine has one of those digital sketch tablets that she uses for graphic design and it is amazing what can be done with them. Even if just for the fact that you can have completely uniform line weights and options to smooth curves perfectly it would be cool.

Actually, one of the upshots of Wacom Tablets is the ability to create variable line weight based on the pressure that you apply. It makes it more like actual drawing but it does take some getting used to. Maybe if I ever get a business going, I'll get one.

![]() This video in itself is freakin' amazing. The fact that it is an Opel makes it ART. My highest compliments to Kevin Saxler. Is he known to somebody here? Dieter

I've never interacted with him before but I have noticed his speed painting on youtube before. It would be interesting if he was hiding in the wings.

Tony, if you are interested in a digital drawing tablet I don't see how one could go wrong with this for $30 Woot Sellout
