Ahab Flex Pens

The Noodler's Ahab Flex pens were finally released at Goulet Pens last week and I gotta say, they are were worth the wait! I love these pens; with a big flex nib and large ink capacity, they are awesome. I did only a few little sketches with the clear demonstrator over the holiday weekend, but I'm looking forward to getting into them. They're an incredible value at only 20 bucks and unlike the flex pen releases in the past, Goulet has plenty in stock.

Rainbow Turkeys

These Koh-I-Noor Rainbow pencils came in handy for some place cards on the kids table. I really like these crayons for the surprising lines they create; they even make a scribble interesting. It was an impulse buy that I'm glad I made. 

 These little guys will be on our Thanksgiving table; I hope you all have nothing but great things around yours!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And thanks for visiting!!!
Scribble on!

The Dead in Rainbow Pencils

These Koh-I-Noor Magic Rainbow pencils were an impulse purchase that turned out to be a pretty cool little tool. They are a blend of two or three colors in one crayon in an over sized barrel; they give you a line in varying shades of yellow, blue and red.

It's great to work on location and I used these pencils to sketch "The Dead" when they were playing at the Garden State Arts Center. 

My business partner Tony Reonegro has done a ton of creative work for the band, so we had backstage passes; up close to the performance. I used a couple of different mediums that night, these are just the Rainbow Pencil sketches. It was crowded backstage and not conducive to working with any wet media, so I gave these a try along with some graphite work that I'll post another time.
