SmudgeGuard2®

The modern world is full of amazing gadgets gimmicks and blitzkrieg. Turning on the television at night you see all the infomercials - with Montel now up in that game - where they sell you on the next "must have" device. If it's anything humans' possess it's ingenuity and that gives rise to all that adaptational badassery. We're always finding better ways to improve on and interact with the technology thats being birthed/regurgitated at such a prodigious rate.

SmudgeGuard2® is such a product. Looking into buying one after hearing some rave reviews of the product from some people on DeviantART. On a sympathetic-tip I was sold after learning it's a lefty-inspired invention; being south-paw myself (least in regards to writing / drawing) this appealed to me. Gotta say it's super-handy [drop//rock the pun] when working on the Wacom tablet. It happens all the time but it's (of course) more of a problem in the summer-heat, when working on the tablet my hand starts picking up all the oil and grime on the surface as my hand heats up. I've tried to correct this problem on my own, everything from fashioning my own sequin glove to draw with - and going the other route and actually taping a piece of typing paper over top the wacom surface. Nothing cuts to the heart of the matter with as much elegance as SmudgeGuard2. I've now had it for awhile and have wanted to express how much it's helped me with my workflow here at home. It's comfortable to wear. Seems to be made from good long-lasting material(s). I predict it'll end up being the new fall sensation [j/k] and eventually end up in many an artist's arsenal. Though I don't own a Cintiq it's just as good on a wacom tablet cause much of the same principles and procedures apply, yeh?

This guy's video basically tells the whole story...
