u mad pencil?
Now I know why the new Adobe release is called, “No, Fuck You Pencil! CS 4.0”
If a pencil is thought, Photoshop is speech.
Without thought, speech is incoherent, unstructured, self indulgent noise that provokes boredom rather than another thought.
Without the speech, the thought risks never being heard. Never being shared and has no opportunity to grow or evolve and is headed for extinction.
This picture is a great thought. I laughed very much, but it is a very brash pencil that spoke too soon.
Much more powerful if “Fuck Photoshop” had been pencilled by hand, not typeset.
Or even better it was a drawing of a pencil with no photo or fonts invited to participate at all.
But then it would be an authentic thought from a pencil and not a product available for sale.
Need a “Fuck Revit” for architects.
How about the word “Luddite” scribed down the length of your manual drawing/writing implement.
Ironically, the design was probably made in Photoshop :P
The pencil is of course the tool of choice for editing photography and designing digital content … wait, what?
Photoshop isn’t a drawing tool; it’s a digital editing and design tool. It’s a fun idea but doesn’t actually make sense.
If you actually use the pencil as a pencil, eventually sharpening will change it into a seemingly pro-photoshop pencil.
That phrase should really be on an x-acto knife. That’s what Photoshop replaced. Ahhh but maybe the lad is young to know what keyline/paste-up was.
That pencil looks photoshopped. The light angles are all wrong.
Wouldn’t ‘Fuck Illustrator’ be more appropriate? A dark room with ‘Fuck Photohop’ would make much more sense.
Perhaps I’m being dense, but what the hell does a pencil have to do with Photoshop?
Oh come on, Pencil! I could never replace you! Remember last night, we were drawing like crazy. Seriously, it’s nothing personal when I scan the image into Photoshop. It’s just business!
But no one can sketch like you, I promise.
Photoshop is awesome. Hating it is dumb.
Do pencils hate paintbrushes too? Cameras?
Pencils be jealous.
This is one of the less creative items I’ve seen on Etsy. And I can’t imagine paying $3 for a pencil. But I completely agree with the sentiment.
