Art products

Some products that I'm looking forward to review are the Dell UP3216Q, Lenovo Miix 510 and Lenovo Yoga Book. I've already requested for review units so hopefully I can get them soon. I'm currently using the Adonit Jot Dash 2 and Adonit Snap (less battery life). The slow diagonal line jitter is almost gone so those two styluses now perform quite satisfactory.

4. XP-Pen Artist 10S Pen Display Digitizer

Patreon

I've just crossed the $500 mark on Patreon which is great. But every month there are ups and down.

Support me on Patreon to help me put out more reviews of books and art products for artists. Patreon is a monthly donation service where you can pledge any dollar amount. If you're a regular reader, consider pledging $1. The money goes towards funding the web hosting, getting art products (from unresponsive companies) to review, hiring artists and more.

You can see the rewards you can get in return for your support at https://www.patreon.com/parkablogs

And thanks to all who have supported me so far!
