    This amazing little gadget has transformed the way I work on Photoshop, inDesign, FCPX, Ecamm, audition and even my scanner! I can trigger scanning events in the desktop, from across the studio where the scanner lives. So cool!

    I’ve been using the TourBox Neo for a while now. It only took a week or so to break old keyboard shortcut habits and to create new habits on the TourBox. You can set up the TourBox in any way you like to suit you and your working style. We all do different things and my choices may well baffle you and vice-versa. But they work really well for me.

    Zooming into images and rotating them is a snap. Altering brush size is so intuitive. Swapping between tools is so easy. and those weird things you do a lot – with me it is creating a copy of a layer, can all be programmed for one button touch. You can also create a separate set of buttons for different jobs in the same app.

    The TourBox Elite comes in Black, White or Retro Transparent and it has two channel bluetooth, so no cables – you can also swap between desktop and laptop with a quick push of the button on the back. The eElite also has haptics, so you can speed up and slow down the wheels and dials to suit so you get “bump” and audio feedback.

    I feel honoured to be asked to make these reviews by TourBox as I think this is a really good product – very well made, filling a definite need and niche. I have imagined just such a tool for sometime and kept looking out to see if anyone had invented it (shoulda done it myself and made a fortune – duh! lol)

    TourBox have sent me a testing prototype to work with, but they are not paying me to make this video. If you follow the, I will get a commission to help me keep this channel going. Thanks in advance.

    I’ve tried all sorts of stuff in the past, that usually ends up in a drawer, but this is one little friend that I’m pretty sure will always be by my side.

  • I was asked last night if I might do a drawing inspired by A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. For reasons I explain in the video, I thought I wouldn’t. But then I thought that perhaps I should!

    This is a long video of me drawing Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. I do a lot of talking and reminiscing and even play you something from the band I was in in the 80s!

    This is for Gabe, one of my Patrons, who loves Christmas and love a Christmas Carol even more! Feel free to comment. Having done this version, I realise that I should be doing something quite different – I should maybe try to bring Scrooge up to date a bit?
