I live in WA state, ordered my wacom off amazon (based in seattle, WA). picked 2 day shipping, well it showed up at my door the next day... so I love amazon.com Now I have an intuos3 6x8 and it immediately makes a difference in the feeling of control I have over my art. I would never do cartoons with a mouse lol lets just say ive opened up an avenue ive never been able to explore.. gonna go pro one day
check out a couple pics
