A. is my non-fancy but servicable Toshiba laptop.

But I have many irons in the fire. Over to the right a bit, on my dining nook table:

A. My soldering station. A plywood plank, a soldering pen, a can to put snipped-off leads in, a rag to clean the pen tip. There's usually a little fan to blow away solder fumes.
B. Bin of modeling supplies. Knives, sandpaper, tape.
(Between B. and C. is a box of peanut brittle I meant to send to my Dad for Father's Day. Oh well.)
C. Bin with parts -- nuts, bolts, washers, felt, chalk -- for my latest project.
D. A rocket I'm working on.
E. That's my latest project. More on that here.
F. Nylon tote bag full of miscellaneous tools. Screwdrivers, clamps, pliers, knives, etc.

Immediately above F. is a coffee container I used to support parts of the lantern while I sprayed it. Stuff like that is handy. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298560#Comment_298560 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298560#Comment_298560 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 18:48:50 -0700 rickiep00h


Desk: IKEA (something)-series which has since been replaced by the MICKE series.
Chair: pretty sure it's a Realspace PRO 2000, but I can't seem to find the paperwork right now

1. Axiom 61 (2nd gen) MIDI controller.
2. Wurlitzer 200A (not 100%) working.
3. Epiphone Les Paul Limited (with EMG81 bridge pickup).
4. Ibanez PC5NT acoustic.
5. Squire Telecaster (in need of modification to be awesome).
6. Signed Templesmith print from c2e2 2010.
7. Top shelf were all junk is banished to, including refurb DS box.
8. Aforementioned Nintendo DSi.
9. Garbage can. Complete with McDonald's cups.
10. Motorola Droid 2. Also: Diet Mountain Dew, Magic cards, DS games.
11. Moleskine books (one sketchbook, one lined notebook) and various art supplies you can't see.
12. Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet (older generation)
13. Rack gear:
a. Avid Mbox Pro
b. Seagate external drive
c. Furman power conditioner
d. ADA MP-1 guitar preamp (non-modified, Mesa tubes)
e. Digidesign (now Avid) Eleven Rack
f. Alesis blackface ADAT (approx. 3000 hours)
Non-gear items hiding in/on rack:
- Canned air
- various DS game cases
- Sony MDR-7506 headphones
- Rode NT1-A matched pair microphones
14. Unsightly shadow from flash because I am bad a taking pictures.
15. Magnetic whiteboard with Coilhouse insert cards from Issue 5, various magnets. Shelf holds random shit like guitar picks, thumbdrives, and iLok dongles. And twisty-ties, because you can never have enough. Oh, and my Blue Snowflake USB microphone.
16. One of two actual windows. This one looks out onto the alleyway, so I can watch the garbage man empty my cans. The other is a nice view of our neighbor's wall.

Other things that didn't make the picture:
Microphones: Shure SM57s, Sennheiser e609 Silver, Shure Beta52, Shure Beta58.
Various effects pedals and shitty guitar amps. Foot controller for ADA preamp.
Squier II Stratocaster with EMG DG20 pickups.

Intel i5 3.3ghz
4gb RAM
nVidia GTX460 1gb graphics
500gb system drive
1tb storage/media drive
Apple Aluminum Mac keyboard
Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000

I'm planning on getting some drawers and blanks for the rack so it doesn't look quite so messy anymore. I'm pretty good with "a place for everything" but I'm not so hip to the "everything in its place" part. For the amount of kit I have I really don't do as much work as I should. (I'm one of those horrible "When I get one more piece of gear I'll get started" procrastinators.)

Oh, and that green thing on the Wurlitzer is one of those fancy dust cloths that feels all toothy and odd. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298563#Comment_298563 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298563#Comment_298563 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 19:15:38 -0700 oddbill

This is the LAIR, aka MANCAVE. It's located at the bottom of the garden, about 80 feet from the house. It's surrounded by trees, and invisible on Google Earth. In winter, the garden floods, so I have my own moat. There's a covered terrace outside with wicker chairs. I like my cave. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298878#Comment_298878 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298878#Comment_298878 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 11:43:13 -0700 Vaehling This is my desktop a while ago, when a German colleague posted a similar challenge. It hasn't changed much since, so I'll use that instead of messing around with that camera, if that's alright.



So, let's see how much I remember...

1. My special Conny Van Ehlsing notebook, with scripts, outlines, sketches and all that for the comic I was working on at that moment (6).
2. My keyboard.
3. Then-new graphics tablet. Hadn't used it much then, use it a lot now. (See 6.)
4. Trackball. Boring. Let's move on.
5. Stuff that doesn't belong on a desk, but, hey, it's my desk. CDs, matches, tissues, a tangerine and brown sugar (in the back).
6. The page I was working on. Recently, I started just pencilling a bigger thumbnail and inking it online with 3., but that's just an experiment. So it could still look like that any day.
7. Tea mug. Important.
8. I think that's my headset. So I was probably expecting a call.
9. Twitter. Nowadays, it could just as well be Facebook. Also, you don't see it, but the mp3 player is playing some comic- or writing-related podcast.
10. Additional drawing material. Pencils and felt pens and stuff in the mug, brushes and nibs on the very practical self-made pen and nib display.
11. Where's 11? Oh, up there. That's a cover I'd been working on. I sometimes put current stuff up at that wall and leave it there until something new comes up.
12. Dictionaries.
13. All the older notebooks I've filled since I started making comics again in the nineties. I like to keep them at hand because I'm still not done with everything in there.
14. The usual stuff you'd expect on a comic artist's desk: Two pencils, a brush pen, a ruler and such.

Actually, the pictures I made after pulling the shades were better, but smaller. You can see them here, and if you can read German, read about them. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298914#Comment_298914 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=298914#Comment_298914 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:28:34 -0700 Paul Sizer

WORK DESK:
1. MAC G4 Laptop, for email and travel/workshops/lectures.
2. Top secret "GET THIS SHIT DONE NOW" lists!
3. Top secret PostIt notes!
4. Old school cork board of inspirations.
5. Criminally now under-used drawing table. Every book I've done up to now has been drawn on this same table.
6. Stack of FIELD NOTES awaiting use.
7. Fan (too cheap to get central air in house, now cursing this decision)


DIGITAL ART DESK:
1. Dual screens. Once thought to be a luxury, now essential. Soon to upgrade.
2. Mac G5, loaded to the gills.
3. Wacom Intuos tablet. True love.
4. Small scanner.
5. Back up hard drive. Upgrading soon.
6. Land line and answering machine, because I'm still a luddite at heart. Answering machine still has first phone message from Thomas Dolby on it.
7. High class nudie art.
8. Sketchbooks from past and present.
9. Graphic novels and comics for reference, toys, Pantone books, overflow CD collection.

There were two other photos of research, one included a cane sword and the other an R2D2 cooler, and more comics and NerdVDs but these two were sufficient.

Here is my own personal Vault of Horrors. I'm realizing now after looking over everyone's work spaces that perhaps I should have tidied up before shooting photos. Anywho, here at my desk you shall notice:

1) My inspiration skull. It's the first skull I owned, he's been with me for a while now.
2) The lamp, illuminating my horrors as I scribble them in the night.
3) My newest skull, why two skulls? The better question is why not!
4) Recent scribblings/also the most likely area of my desk to be clear of stuff at any given time.
5) Yes, that is Jesus being eaten by zombies. It's my own version of 'The Last Supper'.
6) Vintage pencil sharpener, I enjoy it because it reminds me of a meat grinder.
7) Lots and lots of markers. You'll notice a definite absence of any sort of technology, this isn't because I don't want it, it's mostly because I can't afford it. My computer is mostly used for watching Netflix and...ahem.. other stuff. So it's markers for me!
8) Toy corpses and killers
9) The most recent children's book I illustrated, 'I Wanna Bee an Author', now available on Amazon!
10) Best not to look under there.
11) Tape.....for taping!
12) Other framed scribblings, some mine, some from artists I've met or talked to who were nice enough to give me some of their work to drool over and be inspired. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=300703#Comment_300703 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=300703#Comment_300703 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 05:13:27 -0700 kperkins http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=300705#Comment_300705 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9961&Focus=300705#Comment_300705 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 05:28:57 -0700 Comicbookbunny
