Introducing Wacom Bridge
Historically, the tools that artists needed required them to work from studio offices. But artists want the flexibility to work where they can be most creative — not necessarily where the source files or computers are. To enable a global workforce without hindering collaboration, studios must provide artists with virtual graphics workstations that deliver similar performance and functional characteristics to the ones available to employees onsite at studio headquarters. That’s where Wacom Bridge comes in.

The power of digital ink
Humans have been using ink for thousands of years to express ourselves and preserve knowledge – from plant-based paintings on cave walls to writing and illustrating foundational cultural manuscripts. In the 20th and 21st centuries, digital ink has taken this uniquely human impulse to the next level, with Wacom at the forefront. Wacom created the electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) technology that powers our devices, and we’ve been perfecting it ever since. Today, creatives worldwide use Wacom technology to empower their work through the use of digital ink.

Special Wacom artist feature as we countdown to #FANEXPOCanada2024
Meet Sandy (@the.seventh.station), an illustrator, designer and creator of The Seventh Station.
Sandy is a big fan of #fanart because it allows for so much expression and freedom.
“Each artist can have a different take on what a character or place means to them, and to see those two mix is just so exciting. Seeing cute and goofy fanart is a treat” - @the.seventh.station
Sandy can’t quite pin down what her favorite character is, but Haku from Spirited Away, Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter, and The Baron from The Cat Returns are some of her favorites.
Sandy will be at the Wacom booth during #FANEXPOCanada. Stay tuned for details!
In the meantime check out some samples so her work and her #wacomworkspace! ➡️

Meet Pearl (@kittyalyst), illustrator, storyteller and pin maker. She loves to make #fanart because it allows her to focus on the narrative of a piece vs the developing a character from scratch.
Check out this sampling of her work and her #wacomworkspace.

Special Wacom artist feature as we approach #FANEXPOCanada2024
Meet Tony (@tony_moy), a mixed media comic and fantasy artist specializing in watercolor and gouache. Tony loves watercolors and he incorporates his Wacom tablet to work on layouts and pre-painting processing.
Tony travels to comic conventions and shows like #FANEXPOCanada. He will be at the Wacom Booth next week demoing our newest products and showcasing his art- stay tuned for details!
“Conventions, like #Fanexpo, are absolutely vital for an artist like me. While creating art is often a solitary endeavor, and we live in a world dominated by digital interactions through Instagram and TikTok, nothing compares to the energy of face-to-face connections. There`s something truly special about seeing people`s eyes light up when they see my watercolors in person, hearing their excitement, and having real conversations about the work that goes beyond a "like" or a comment. These moments of human connection remind me why I paint in the first place, and they’re essential to the artistic process and my growth as an artist.” - @tony_moy
Tony loves #fanart because it pays tribute to the worlds we all cherished as children - and it’s also a vehicle to connect with other fans who believe in these worlds just like us. His favorite characters (both to paint and as a fan) are Colossus of the X-men and Spiderman.
Check out this sampling of his work, including a cool comic cover he did for Edenwood from Image Comics and some of his other watercolor pieces, as well as his mix media work setup!
