Totoro Forest Project Book



WOW.

Let me say that again.

WOW.

If you can score a copy of the book, please try to do it soon as I know they are running out quickly. Check in on the Totoro Forest Project Blog for info on where it might be still available. I can't even begin to describe what a joy this book is.

I just received my comp copy (thanks for dropping it down Andrea) and seeing the reactions from my kids as we go through the book together is utterly priceless. Their world has just been expanded by an infinite degree thanks to all the participating artists.
Again, it was a complete honor to be a part of this cause.

Cheers Dice, Enrico, Ronnie, Yukino and the whole project team that organized the event.

More Brush Pens On The Market



Here's a sheet just for fun while testing out the new Prismacolor Premier Brush Pens. It will be hard to drag me away from my trusty Pitt Brush Pens though. I love the Prismacolor pencils, so it's good to see them offering colored brush pens. They do have pretty thin barrels on them compared to the Pitt pens which might take a bit of getting used to. Either way, I'm more concerned with what comes out of the tip of them.
