Before the dive. About WACOM

Creating harmony between people and technology. WACOM’s vision to bring people and technology closer together through natural interface technologies has made it the world’s leading manufacturer of pen tablets, interactive pen displays, and digital interface solutions.

More about WACOM and their products: Link

Designer or an Artist, we know WACOM and its product. Least once in a lifetime, we must have us experienced it. It is an artist dream to have one WACOM as a gadget buddy.

I still remember the day I had the first conversation/invite call with WACOM. It was a surprise call from Delhi, Executive Geetika from the corporate office WACOM. The conversation over the phone call went for 20 mins. Explaining the WACOM needs and how as Madrasters can associate with them. During the discussion, we got the invite as well for the Design Salon Event in Chennai. Big invite for the team Madrasters and giving us an opportunity to do a live drawing while the show was going.

Presenters:

Artist Six

Artist six (Vinod Kumar), The most active contributing member of Madrasters. A born artist and a specialist in using WACOM. Most of his digital arts are composite by using WACOM tablets. He is the chief speaker and presenter when we conduct the sessions at WACOM Banner. Without his support, we would not have made history.

Sanupam

Sanupam Samantray, Our rising Star. When I first met him, he was kid studying in the Design Institute and a WACOM fanboy. Most of his paperwork artwork got digitalized by using WACOM tablets. He was one among the vital factor accompanying Artist Six on the Chennai Design
Salon event. Your efforts are matchless.
