]]> Comment on But… by Lee-Roy http://blog.artandstory.com/2008-prior/2008/04/16/but/#comment-1783 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 09:17:14 +0000 http://blog.artandstory.com/2008-prior/2008/04/16/but/#comment-1783 Thanks, MAC! It is a handy device, to be sure. Though I'm now trying to get back to the analog a little more and balance it with the digital. They both have their advantages and it's taken me a little while to know when to use one versus the other. Thanks, MAC! It is a handy device, to be sure.

I have been here before and must leave a comment this time around. Your story and illustration have great significance on a world level. These bad dreams and negative thoughts and energies are of great personal developmental and even spiritual importance. I Love you mother and the way she explained it to you. What a wonderful kind and giving soul. You must really Love her very much. I know she sure does Love you. Thanks for posting this I don't know why I was drawn to it. Perhaps your name or the like. But just thought I had to share. Love Your blog. Keep up the great work. Love You, Roy Lee Roy,

I decided on just making an insert for my leather sketch cover using Martha’s tutorial. http://www.dickblick.com/zz100/61a/ is pretty cheap takes 2 sheets so total cost is pretty low. btw thx for posting all your findings so far ive built a custom sketch book and now use a kuretake brush pen constantly. cheers Hi don’t know if you’re still binding books using moleskins, but I did find these while reading http://www.sketchcrawl.com/blog/?page_id=4

]]> Comment on Notes on Materials — Watercolor Sets by Lee-Roy http://blog.artandstory.com/2008-prior/2007/09/10/notes-on-materials-watercolor-sets/#comment-1775 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:15:03 +0000 http://blog.artandstory.com/2008-prior/2007/09/10/notes-on-materials-watercolor-sets/#comment-1775 I use Rapidograph Ultradraw with a Lamy converter. I just followed the recommendations of Clay Butler here: http://www.sidewalkbubblegum.com/tutorial.html The converter works fine. After a while, however, it developed a little crack where it connects with the pen. I may have pushed it on too forcefully, or it's just a stress fracture from extended use. Just be aware that may happen eventually, which can cause leaks, but it's a fairly cheap fix... Good luck and thanks! I use Rapidograph Ultradraw with a Lamy converter.
