My Workspace

This is my workspace, the place where I draw, chat and write!
I really love my desk. I found it at Ace Hardware at the nearby mall and it was the only one left – I just had to have it! I’d been looking for an L-shaped desk that curved in like this, and Ace even gave me a discount for it – sweet. I also had the slide-out table refitted so it sat further out thus having the Intuos’ working area in full view whenever I’m using it.
My milky white Fujitsu is my pride and joy and I love it to bits, except that it has cacky battery life, it’s practically plugged in to the power outlet most of the time. AMD processors, enough said.
The Wacom Intuos3 was a birthday gift from himself – champion! – since he knew how much I’d wanted it but I was too much of a tight-ass to buy it myself. I’ve tried using it to create illustrations with the well-known illustration programs but somehow I always end up coming back to Flash, as you can see some of the results in my portfolio.
The speakers were also from himself – he felt sorry for me having to put on headphones all the time then and resulting in me having earaches, that he ended up buying a new set for me. They were vay good, and vay loud and I simply love the sub woofer, especially when I’m listening to trance.
Yes, himself spoils me rotten it’s almost disgusting, but hey, I’m not complaining!
Last but not least, I cannot work without my wrist pad. If you don’t know what that is, it’s that piggy-looking pink-colored squishy thing on the right, next to the mouse. I had one at work (before I resigned) in a shape of a hippo but I gave it to one of my work colleagues as a goodbye present (she really wanted it) and then one of the administrators from my team gave another one for me in a shape of a pig – God love her.
Final words: The desk is usually in a shambles. So imagine it cluttered with used tissues and dirty plates and mugs – but hey, artists are supposed to be messy, right?

Kenapa diberesin dulu sebelum difoto? It is charming to (be able to) see the desk of an artist (yg artinya berantakan gitu) at work.
Jadi inget desknya alm. bokap gw Ther.

Nice!! I thought you were using a Mac. (It seems that every graphic designers I know are always using Mac).
But I like your corner table a lot, and now I am getting embarrassed by looking at your neat table. Mine is a mess!
