Last cleanup task of the year. Probably the dirtiest I frame ever have ever purchased. Banged up bottom, but I still like it. So many nooks and crannies. #Antiques #Photography

For those of you into #Photography and/or #Movies and/or #Comics this is a most excellent book. With my old eyes, the small writing required a magnifying glass. But well worth it. #Muybridge

I'm thinking of making a sketchbook tour video of the embarrassingly large number of sketchbooks I have purchased but not yet used. Page after page of pristine white paper. Perhaps with some sweet music in the background. #art

If you want a fude dip pen nib that holds a CRAZY amount of ink so you have to dip much less often, this one is a winner! The shipping from Taiwan may be a drawback, but I'm glad I bought some Seen on the J.Y.Drawing YouTube channel en.juspirit.com.tw/collections/... #Ink #DipPen #Calligraphy #fude

If the tip is folded by hand, the color of the ink reservoir may be different from the original tip piece, but this does not affect use. The ink reservoir is not sold separately.

Has anybody seen a sketchbook (probably spiral) that comes with tissue or wax paper between the pages? I'd like to get one for use with soft graphite pencils and not worry about smudging onto the adjacent page. Some of the sketched might include a light watercolor wash. #art #Sketching #Watercolor

I wish there were a way when searching to distinguish between "Digital Watercolor" and when an actual paintbrush, watercolor, and paper were used. I'm not looking for digital art.
