The Pen Addict is giving away a fantastic Copic prize pack with Copic markers, sketchbook & pen case! Copic markers are a staple in my art studio, and I mainly use them in my art journal. I love the smooth colors… the smell… the rubbery scritch the brush end makes when I’m filling in a [...]
I have to share this: Office Max has a 12-pack of retractable sharpies for $2 with coupon! The list price on these things is $21.99, so it’s a definite steal. They come in wonderful colors, too. Thanks, Slickdeals!
Oh wow. This pen has made me drool ever since I first saw it. Finding a fountain pen with this fine a nib is difficult, and Pilot has done it! This is SO at the top of my Christmas list this year… sorry iPhone, I still want ya, but I’d be super happy with this [...]
Amazon.com Widgets I previously proclaimed the opaque goodness of the white uni-ball signo gel pen. Although it’s still the best opaque pen of its kind, Sharpie has now come up with something even better. The Sharpie Poster Paint markers have found their way into my art arsenal. They come in tons of colors, fine, medium [...]
One of the Michael’s craft stores around here was clearing out all their Golden Acrylic Paints. When I first saw this, I had no spare cash to buy any… I left empty-handed and depressed because I knew I wouldn’t be able to get them… they’d be gone by the time I had any money. So [...]
(I lifted most of this from the review I wrote for this pen on Jet Pens) A while back I bought a few pens from Jet Pens, one of them was the Hi-Tec-C Cavalier Pen .3mm. I have to say that I *love* this pen. My search for an extra-fine-point everyday use pen has come [...]
I love pens. Specifically pens with very fine nibs – 0.5mm is way too thick for my tastes, but it’s usually the finest point you can find in US stationary & office supply shops (not including artist pens… I’ve got lots of those, but to me they’re not really for everyday writing). That is, until [...]
This past Saturday, reluctantly I went in search of the new Blick store that opened up in Roswell. I am very upset that they’re closing down the only real art store in Kennesaw (Michael’s and Joanne ETC don’t count) – no more lunch break trips to browse the aisles of excellent stuff… So, I went [...]
I made stuff tonight. And I learned a few things: When painting more than one color, make sure you have enough brushes of the right size so you don’t have to keep going back & forth cleaning the same brush every time. When experimenting with monoprints, remember to write backwards. Fabric will most likely smell [...]
My moleskine’s spine split a few weeks ago and I’d been meaning to fix it. Last night I did & I documented it for all moleskine users everywhere on my flickr. And I took the plunge & upgraded to pro… somehow it feels like i can breathe now
