Sable brushes and alligators

A few hours after I woke up, I tracked down an out-of-print inking guide that I’d heard good things about and ordered it.

Then I remembered a dream I had last night, where my favorite #3 pointed round brush wouldn’t snap back to its point. That is brush death; it’s advised to test brushes for this before buying to prevent getting stuck with a runt of the litter.


My New Printer

I would do something more productive with today, but I got a new printer last night and it’s REALLY EXCITING.

I know printers normally aren’t exciting, and they really shouldn’t be – as long as they make what’s on your computer onto a piece of paper, it’s all good. But this is one of those sneaky all-in-one thingerdoos, which I’m wary of because “all-in-one” usually means “suck-at-everything”. And anyway, I have a scanner, rarely need to make copies, and have never sent a fax in my entire (non-professional) life. But hey, it was $70 off. I love a deal.
