Tennessee Williams
A couple of Tennessee Williams quotes hit me in the heart and I decided to do a sketch of Tennessee Williams. *gasp… the 100 peeps in 1 week got to me* “Try to matter. Try to care and never be … Continue reading

Inky Thots: Robert Oster Fire Engine Red

AAA Los Angeles
AAA Los Angeles was always one of my favorite buildings. It was drawn with a FPR Himalayan with an ultra-flex nib in a smooth Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook with Robert Oster Graphite ink. I had lots of help smearing this from … Continue reading

Inky Thots: Robert Oster Melon Tea
I LOVE complex colors — Inks (or watercolors) that are just a little unpredictable in that they change and do their own thing when touched by water! Some all it shading, but it rarely happens except in wide nibbed pens. … Continue reading

Inky Thots: Krishna Ghat Green
This is my third Krishna ink: my first two were Krishna colors (the Indian God of Love and Compassion), which is appropriate for the name of the ink! *I will review them later!* Krishna Green Ghat ink is my favorite … Continue reading

Ghat Green Tea Squirrel
A FPR mufti pen with an ultraflex nib drew my squirrely friend (a tea infuser — shouldn’t everything be this delightful?) in Krishna Green Ghat ink; a waterbrush touched the lines selectively and added color from the nib. I was … Continue reading
