I’m a developer by day and work for a very small company, as such I don’t have money to buy expensive tools. While I know Photoshop is the gold standard for design, the few times I’ve used it I found the interface very confusing and didn’t have the time or the energy to get up to speed. Enter Acorn from Flying Meat Software this tool hits the sweet spot. It has the ability to do a lot of things that I’ll probably never use but more importantly it gives me the ability to handle the smaller image manipulation tasks that come with my everyday job. Here’s video that shows one of the cool features I’d never be able to figure out in Photoshop.

Artist Plug: János Kőrös
Did you know they have sketchbooks in Hungary? And that they have pens too?!?! János Kőrös knows this dirty little secret and exploits it like a fat kid in a cake factory (there haven’t been enough 50 Cent references in the world lately). Anyway, these are just a few examples of some amazing ink he’s putting down in his moleskines. Check his page out for more.
