A Birthday Present from Jason

Jason sent me an email last week inquiring about my knowledge of Wacom technology, as I use my Wacom tablet to do all my digital paintings, and the comic. He asked me for recommendations because he was scoping out tablets. Little did I know that he was secretly trying to figure out what accessories I needed for my tablet! So a package arrives yesterday (I thought it was my new business cards), and here's what's in the package:

It's a 6D art pen. It works like a paintbrush in Corel Painter and Photoshop. The chisel-tip registers the following movement: tilt side-to-side, tilt front-to-back, pressure variation, and 360 degree barrel rotation. HOO-WEEE! I've got the day off so I'm going to take it on it's maiden voyage. I'm sure the result will be posted here by tonight.
