After what felt like years, but was actually just a few months, I have a new computer!  And by the most amazing stroke of luck, it was gifted to me. What does this mean? Well first that I am suddenly the luckiest gal in NYC, but more importantly I can finally get back to work on my photography.

Honestly, there is nothing like being able to concentrate on your art stress free.  This never really occurred to me until these last few months when processing a simple photoshop action took 20 minutes...or crashed the program.  When uploading became an hour long process.  Hell, even blogging was becoming a serious hassle (typing with a lag = tearing out hair).

It's like I was trying to paint with a paintbrush that had no bristles. It can be done, but I'd rather poke my eyes out.

Of course now I have a shitload of catching up to do so here's a few quickies I played with today when I finally got everything up and running. (see a few more over on my Flickr page).

Anything like this ever happened to you?  Is there something you simply can't live without (as I clearly discovered is the case with me)?  Ever have to paint without bristles?
