Freelance Freedom #48


PG

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.

    Haha, I love it — applies to me a lot. I tend to use photoshop terms so loosely, as if they’re part of everyday terminology.

  2. PGChris

    Haha great, I tend to use ‘Ctrl-Z’ in life where it definitely does not apply… I spend way too much time on my computer.

  3. PGArkwulf

    I’m so bad for this. I’ll be drawing in my sketchbook and try and ctrl-z like I’m using my tablet. I’ve even done it in front of people before, and they just look at me like I’m crazy >.<”

  4. PGEd

    This happens to me when I’m doing things like rearranging furniture at home. Then I realize I have to actually move the furniture back myself. Sigh…

  5. PGliz

    more of life needs a cmd+z

  6. PGCory Mathews

    Great one, Sadly I have done this my share of times.

  7. PGPhillipe Calmet

    Hehehe. I am sure that this applies to a lot of us :P

  8. PGEric Stoller

    There have been moments where I have been writing something down on paper, made a mistake, and actually thought about CTRL + Z before I realized that that was not a legitimate option ;-)

  9. PGInk Master

    hahaha nice one :D definitely true

  10. PGme

    LOL…I tend to want to clone stamp faces when talking to people.

  11. PGNemesis Design

    ahhahahhah!!! it happens to me too!!!

  12. PGfelipe caroé

    Haha, FF’s just great. I bet everyone of us keep watching ourselves in each strip!
    There you go, Winters!

  13. PGBrian

    I just want to know how to get a vending machine in my house…

  14. PGHarry Roberts

    Haha, I seriously do think like that when I make a mistake. Glad it’s not just me then :)

  15. PGScott Nellé

    I try to Ctrl+F on printed pages all the time. At least I haven’t started using regex with it yet. : )

  16. PGLuc

    Hahaha I thought it was only me. It happens to me all the time lol

  17. PGPristine

    I’ve always always wanted a real life Ctrl-F. I’m always trying to find certain phrases in books or things hidden amongst the mess on my table. Yes, a real life search tool would be awesome.

  18. PGayad

    LOL………sometimes I’m trying to undo words what I’ve said

  19. PGDave

    What’s worse is when you realise you get annoyed that the program has frozen while trying to click on the “edit” menu, before realising you’re using a pencil and sketchbook, not tablet and Photoshop

  20. Oh man….I did this once in my head during a conversation. I knew then it was time to take a break. :)

  21. PGDennisBB
  22. PGjakeroxas

    hahaha. This has happened to me before.

  23. PGGlenn

    Wow. I could easily see myself doing that after a long period of coding. UNDO! PLEASE!

  24. PGElKid

    I just tried it today when I accidentally tied a big knot in my mouse cable

  25. I had that happen to me! Happy I am not alone ;)

  26. PGDavid Henderson

    Ha ha! This happened to me after a huge project, I wasn’t even at computer and my fingers went to hit Cmd z ! What is going on, if only we could undo certain things in life!

    When I had a tablet, I once sat down to draw on a piece of paper when I was tired.
    So I drew a diagonal line over my nice drawing, trying to select a rectangle around it.
    When I realized I drew over it, I tried to undo.

    Oops?

    Another one – I speak Hebrew, which is written right-to-left. So some programs handle that badly, and when you write a sentence like “I want 6, 5 would be good too” the 6 comes out to the left of the 5 (like in left-to-right) and the sentence gets messed up.
    I once wrote such a sentence in class, on a piece of paper.
    Then spent a good 30 seconds trying to use webmaster tricks to make surethat it won’t mess up for other users.
