Re: a drawing out of style [expression 3]
Hi
Microsoft bought Creaturehouse out around 2003
They then adopted the Expression name for their product.
Expression Design is based on and has many of the features of the Creaturehouse version, including stroke brushes, but lacks many of the options such as variable width palette
The Creaturehouse version was/is a tool for artists along the lines of corel painter, but vector.
Microsoft Expression is more a tool for the modern breed of web designer/artists; this is now at version 3 - so we now have two 'Expression 3's that are different products in reality, if technically part of one development line
Microsoft still make the Creaturehouse version available as linked above - it contains a Microsoft EULA governing its use
Acrylic, as mentioned by George, was the name Microsoft Expression was known as prior to becoming Expression Studio
The Creaturehouse Expression 3 is actually a beta program and was initially released very shortly before Microsoft took control; It is pretty stable non the less.
