I just started a new sketchbook - number 160! I decided not to make it a GRAND one (like number 150) and went for a trusted brand which I know will support many things I want to do (it is an 8"x10" softcover Alpha Series from Stillman & Birn). But I wanted to celebrate somehow. So instead of listing all my current tools on the very first page, I listed my intentions.
So this image will tell you (and me) what I was planning for this volume of the illustrated journal of my life and experiments in early May of 2025.
We all will see how that goes :)
Here is a link to some "new sketchbook" posts form before - stretching quite a few years:

Oh ! A Blopen!!! I was given a pack of those for fun a few months ago (they are all the rage here with kids) but thought the markers could not be refilled.. Can they ? Or do you use another container for your inks inside??? Anyway, as always, I am very excited to see what your new sketchbook will bring. Meanwhile, I am still experimenting with silicon mat printing.
ReplyDeleteYes - blopen - so far I've been lucky with adding a few drops of alcohol to revive the pens - we will see how long it will last me. And the silicon matt awaits in my summer list of adventures - thank you for that tip, Astrid!
