Beetsandink - Beets And Ink

It's like the male version of L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-1NjaLpITw

so I may be onto something.

I'm here trying to draw and being grumpy that on the computer I'm forever unable to draw a straight line with the Wacom tablet, then I realize that I don't have much traction to negate my twitchy limbs like I do drawing in graphite on paper.  So I tape a sheet of paper over my tablet and then sandpaper the plastic stylus nib.  Lo and behold I have paper traction and an improved line drawing process.

alternately I could splurge on a Wacom Intuos4 that already has the texture built in.  or do they make variant pad inserts for my Intuos3?  eh paper is cheap.
