Pencils... Pretty Pencils

Octopus vs. Squirrel — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:08:28 +0000

These pictures are from art supply mecca Pearl Paint in New York. However my favorite pencils at the moment are Japan’s Tombow Mono 100’s. Thats right. These are sweet pencils. Using one for the first time is like deflowering your high school prom queen and then writing her a thank you note with a kick ass pencil! Ok that may be going too far. But I like them.

I mean C’mon! Look at this packaging!

I was reminded of my time spent in India by this colourful video from the Let’s Colour Project.

Jodhpur, with its imposing fort Mehrangarh and surrounding blue houses, is an amazing place to visit.

Also of note is a simular project in Rio.
