Excellent! Wacom makes a great tablet. I have a small intuos3 at home 
The drawing area is about the size of a 4x6 card, but it doesn't 
dominate the desk. I use mine mostly for photo retouching/clean-up, and 
it works exceptionally well for me. I occasionally do some sketches, but 
nothing on the level that you've demonstrated.

Nice drawings :) I used to draw quite well in HS, but it's been a long 
time since I've done any serious drawing.

A good tablet never is. I'm glad I have mine :)
