Making japanese food samples

When I was in Japan and saw all the fake food in restaurants and in Kappabashi Street (which is an absolute must visit if you ever be in Tokyo) I always wondered how it was made. And here you see how a guy makes it out of wax. Really, really cool.

Affinity Designer

Finally there is one alternative to Adobe Illustrator on the marked. It is called Affinity Designer and after four year of development it is available for OS X (only). It looks very promising and I am very tempted to give it a shot as long as it is 20% of. But for $65 it is a real bargain compared to the Adobe alternative.

On their webpage they also announced a competitor to Photoshop which is even more interesting. I am curious if they manage to really make the big P obsolete for my workflow. Until now I did not found anything which comes close to the default functionality of Photoshop. And please don't start with GIMP. Never liked it, never will. GIMP is just a tool from nerds for nerds and I am an artist and I want to work efficiently without a steep learning curve. That being said if Affinity Photo does that for me I say bye, bye to Adobe Photoshop.

German Kübelwagen with Bling Bling

Just saw this German Kübelwagen here in Miramar with bling bling chrome rims and lowered body. 

Gives it a nice contrast don't you think?
