Project Dogwaffle
With a name like Project Dogwaffle, how could this program not be a must have? So what is it? Project Dogwaffle is paint software for the PC with built-in, user-defined, animated, and fractal particle brushes. Are there any side effects? Well, I feel a little more creative after using it.
