SONYA & The Wacom Cintiq
Donation protected
Hi my name is Sonya, I am 26 year old woman from California – working as a lobby personnel and administrative assistant for a casino and I have a DREAM to be ultimately creative, free and doing something that I love
For a very long time now, I have enjoyed artwork. OK not just enjoyed it the better way to describe it is: I LOVE creating art! And it was what I wanted to go to university for originally for but ultimately felt discouraged and went for a ‘normal’ degree plan.
Originally I am a traditional style artist working with collage, watercolor and acrylic as my medium however around this time I also started my journey in experimenting with digital artwork. I kept plugging at it and working on it throughout my schooling and various employment opportunities. However, during this time and up until now I have felt a serious cognitive | Hand to eye disconnect with the use of Wacom’s Bamboo and Intuos lines (essentially you do not look at your hand while you are drawing, instead you crane your head up to look at the screen of your computer or laptop you are drawing on) which in turn makes me frustrated with creating digital pieces compared to my traditional pieces
I can do it !
Deviantart || Art Tumblr
but it takes me FOREVER and with a frustration that will basically make me implode upon myself like a failing supernovi.
But since I do have a job why don’t I just save up a few pay stubs and get it? Not that hard? I help fund myself, bills, food, gasoline and other amenities that help me be a self-sufficient and barely operational adult in this day and age. I just got out of a college + self-induced debt which crippled my ability to save and purchase a useful tool like a Cintiq for myself for 2 to 3 years.
It is from this turtle like pace with digital artwork, my embarrassment to ask for help and frustration with it all is crippling my ability to achieve ‘happiness’ and a foreseeable income. I have attempted to stifle my burning desire for some time!
NOW I WANT MY CAKE AND I WANT TO EAT IT.
Ok ok ok. So!
I am asking for help to raise $900 to help purchase myself a Wacom Cintiq 13HD and any extra costs that may come with owner ship of such an awesome platform! Like the screen covers, extra nibs, case and etc. Anything left over will be promptly cycled back in to the art community to help another artist be able to obtain a tablet or another item they may need to further more continue their journey in to artistic bliss.
This would mean the world to me to receive any help towards my goal of owning one of these tablets. Because it would help me find a positive outlet and a positive income, helping me become a healthier adult and individual. And that I would be so elated, and pretty much would be awestruck by the beautiful generosity of others if I received even just a sliver of help and that I would like to return the same kind of generosity to another artist in need.
Thank you so much!
Sonya.
