newTechnicalPen


after spending 7 years with my .35 koh-i-noor rapidograph pen i finally got another one to add to my box of supplies.
this is a .7; it'll hopefully cut down my inking time since i have to go over lines more than once to get thicker lines with my 0.35.
i also filled up my last sketch book so i'm starting my drawings on my new moleskine. their marketing dept. tout it's the same brand hemingway and van van gogh used. two people who committed suicide probably isn't the best spokespeople for a product but i guess people have a morbid and macabre romance in a tormented artist/intellect who chooses to take his own life.

but i digress; it's really a nice sketchbook, with a quality build. it's a watercolor sketch book so the weight of the paper should play well with my ink. it's also kept closed with a nifty elastic band.

we'll see what i come up with in the next few days. gotta find those muses.
