So I was in and around upstate New York yesterday. Stopped in New Paltz, a quirky college town, at a great little art shop in hopes that they would carry a certain pen that I use since all of mine are officially now broken. (sob!) Had a great conversation with the shopkeeper who said, "Gosh, there only about 37 people in the world who use those pens, and you're one of them". And there it is. Either I wait two weeks for my online order to come in or I feed my drawing addiction with a temporary pen replacement. This guy, highly knowledgeable about art supplies and the like, recommended a little pen called the Slicci. I've heard of this pen many a time, so I thought I'd give it a whirl (plus, um, it was only $2.50 compared to $40). It has an awesome fine point, consistent flow of ink, but it does tend to bleed... Not my first choice, but who am I kidding? I neeeeeeed to draw. So here is my first drawing made with a Slicci:
