Sepia crayon portrait of a couple in a very decorative antique gold frame. The man has a large droopy mustache. (before being cleaned)

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.

I think I hit it with another account trying to block all the different posts about sports for which I have no interest.

But I don't recall there being an alert message.

If I hit it again I'll let you know.

Is there a limit to the number of words & tags you can mute?

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.

Great news for Artists with allergies, a hypoallergenic pencil sharpener!

Thank you for giving us control!

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.

FulinFulin - Calligraphy Dip Pen Nib 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.

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

Looks like you are using a Extra Extra Extra Fine nib 😊

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.

The new PhotoShop feature which automatically finds and removes distractions like wires and background people, is wickedly amazing.
Look at the wires way in the background

No, sorry I don't.

What is more important to the Fountain Pen aficionados, how it looks or how it writes?

A small table full of art supplies including: Too many fountain pens and many incomplete pocket sketchbooks

I'm much better at organizing a workspace than actually using it.
