Abstininthe?
I would like to put in a recommendation for gel crayons, lipstick smooth, good colour selection and decent overlaying, kind of like oil pastels. Not sure what they taste like.

Your comments on this thread are on point and what I came here for, but the Gurney’s Journey blog shout out is extra special. That’s the tab I keep open on my phone at all times as an emergency “stay out of social media / news websites” when I need a distraction. I always end up inspired instead of frustrated and gumbly.

(I was 5 or 6 when I got my first box of Cray Pas.)
You can still buy them, I got a new box a few years ago.

f’real, pulling up that Gurney post on his mini-setup (and looking through other posts in the ‘painting gear’ tag on his blog) makes me want to throw together a little kit like that to keep in my bag along with the laptop, drawing tablet, and the homemade sunshade that snaps to the laptop screen’s hidden magnets. I get a lot of stuff done in all kinds of places with the laptop (mostly cafes and parks) but there’s a level of just spending a lot of my spare minutes drawing that the laptop can’t attain and that I kinda miss.

I’m reminded of Byron the Bulb, a long-lived incandescent light bulb that shows up in a Pynchon novel or two. Of course, the bulb-making consortium (oh yes, Osram etc) wants to destroy Byron, because he’s threatening and anomalous.
