Today, I lost an old friend. My 10 year old Canoscan 8400f is now offically dead. Its been with me through several moves to new apartments, and all the art you have seen me post on DA have gone through that scanner, it even has a 10year DA party sticker I got when I went to the birthday bash at the house of blues in hollywood. I knew it was starting to fail, slowly the resolution and color were getting off. a line was showing up in the scans, I was able to correct some of it in the ps program it came with. But allas, it has finally died. Refusing to heat up the lamp, and throwing an error message, every time I try it. I have a back up scanner, in the form of my Hp all in one, which i honestly hate, it really sucks at picking up the very fine lines that i use when i ink with a .05 pen, so I have ordered a replacement for my old friend, a shiny new Epson V37 flatbed scanner, I even got free shipping. Its about all I could afford right now. if you want to help me pay for this thing, feel free, i wont stop you:D but now what to do with my old friend, throwing him back in a box and chucking it seems kinda cold, maybe i hang it on a wall, like a painting? it has that cool DA sticker on the front of it... so maybe... 


Eagerly awaiting the new scanner...
