NEWS – As an amateur artist, I enjoy using my Apple pencil to draw and create on my iPad Air. But as great as it may be, it’s not like drawing on actual paper. The surface is glossy and slick, so it never feels natural. The Rock Paper Pencil (awesome name) is a screen protector …

REVIEW – I’ve been at least mildly germophobic as long as I can remember (I’m a constant hand-washer, among other things), so the opportunity to review this Adonit Note-UVC stylus was intriguing (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic). This stylus sells for less than the Apple Pencil, with the added benefit of a germ-killing UV-C light …

REVIEW – Creating art on an iPad or an Android tablet is a lot easier if you do it with a stylus, but high-quality styluses tend to be expensive, use Bluetooth, and require frequent charging.
