Creature House Expression: Free painting software

[alistair]

(Got the heads up from a friend on Multiply...)

Creature House Expression is a hybrid vector and paint program that I hear comes bundled with Wacom Graphire tablets. My friend (Lionel Valdellon) swears by it - saying it greatly speeds up his drawing of his Web comics.

Apparently Creature House was acquired by Microsoft in 2003, and MS is releasing a new version of Expression as a beta here (a 120MB bloated download - what do you expect from MS?).

Now we've discovered that Creature House is providing a free, dowload version of version 3.3 (59MB) of their nifty application "as a service to the many loyal users of Expression" over the past years. Sweet.

Oh, and never mind that it's (now) from MS - the product has a Mac version, too!
