PRODUCTS INCLUDE:

We’ll be giving away a mix of the new gear listed above to 5 new artists total for Round 2 (adding to the 5 already selected in Round 1), who’ll work with us to create video demos using the products, so their fellow artists and content creators can see how they work.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

PLUS we’ll be featuring ALL 10 ARTISTS in a special print feature in an upcoming issue.
