New workspace icon

[ljwrites]

I've been meaning for a while to replace one of my old icons, called "workspace," with what my workspace looks like now. The old workspace icon showed my old setup from 2012-ish of my laptop monitor and a larger monitor serving as dual monitors on my desk. I now have a spare flatscreen as my main monitor across the room and a Dell pivot monitor set to vertical as the secondary on my desk, with my Macbook Air connected to both but closed and tucked out of the way in a desktop shelf when at home. (Macbook Air can't natively handle two external monitors, for the Dell I use a device that lets me connect monitors via USB.) Mark, inspired by me, has an almost identical setup but with an actual desktop. We set up our workstations side-by-side in the large north-facing room that's cold and doesn't get enough sun, and Mark's old workroom is now a playroom for our kid.

Here's the old "workspace" icon, a bad cellphone pic run through a bad sketch tag. I like my current setup much better, but it's one of the few pictures surviving from that era of my life.

That is a pretty cool workspace set-up, in both cases! It all looks very professional!

Thank you! I think a dual monitor setup is easy to make look professional even if all you're doing is watching video on one while scrolling through social media feeds on the other. Which uh... totally isn't how I'm using it *shifty eyed*

Ha! Yeah, a bunch of our artist friends have dual monitor set-ups, but I don't. There is not enough room on my desk for both, unless I did some massive rearranging, and I think I'd probably find it distracting. But it always looks so cool!
