Wacom-Like Finding a Needing in a Haystack

I gave my Wacom bluetooth Graphire to my bro last January and they(him and my sis thats & ) are having a ball. Theyve drawn loads already and theyve improved whereas I have been itching to draw for months but couldnt since I dont have a tablet pen!

Anyways, last month or 2 ago I went to the store here in Riyadh where I first bought my Wacom, thats Extra Electronic Store since thats the only place here in Riyadh that sold them back then. To my dismay, they stopped selling them! The only tablet pens you find here are cheap and ones whos sole purpose is to WRITE but not to go crazy with your creativity!

I went about searching online for stores here and in the Philippines. I contacted 1 site that says theyre the Wacom dealers in KSA and emailed them. Afterwards i tried texting a number I found online that states hes also a Wacom reseller. Out of soo many links i only managed to find 2 in Saudi.

If i dont get any response from those 2 ill have to order mine in Manila (which is cheaper actually) and have someone bring it to Riyadh...urgh! Check out Ynzal Marketing in Phil [link]

Yesterday, i got a text message and an email from the 2 Saudi dealers, such a relief! One even delivers the items in Riyadh for free I just hope the item wont be too pricey. Im crossing my fingers hoping that they'll be able to help me get my Intuos 4.

I hope those two are real and wont scam me, but i have faith and think they arent since one of them has a showroom here. Or I can just pay them a visit to their office and pick the item up myself, thats safer and more secure afterall.

Third time my work's been featured last one was in May (see previous post) Im glad that someone out there is taking notice of my work, and of course i am proud and a simple thing such as this just inspires me to work even harder and get better.

Thanks to and & to you



A friend of mine was in the US last month and had him buy me a Canon 50mm lens, stofen diffsuer, circular polarizer and a macro/closeup kit. Now I know some of you are asking why i didnt just buy them here in Riyadh. Well, first of all Canon items are scarce here and they dont sell Canon lenses. 2nd its more expensive here. Can you believe i was able to save around 400-500 Riyals by buying those stuff there in the US

These items traveled a long way. from the US (thanks Mark) to the Philippines(Thanks Rap) to Saudi (Thanks yeth) and I am lovin them!!



Oh yea I'm grinning from ear to ear!!
