Just bought a bunch of the 1mm Pigmas to do a visual capture of a workshop next week. By far the best black markers I’ve used (esp with Tombow brushpens).
It’s not a slow news day. Any chance we could get some acknowledgment of the right-wing militia murdering protesters while cops ignore them, in addition to the constant ads and posts about beer and banana sandwiches?
I have plenty of other sources for breaking news.
I come to BoingBoing for “beer and banana sandwiches.”
I just got a Sakura Pigma set, myself. Like, no fooling, it arrived yesterday. I had been using the Staedler pigment liner to ink fine lines (.05), and I really liked its smooth play and crisp results. The Staedler finally gave out, so I thought I’d broaden my horizons. You’re right about the price; it made an experiment with an untried (on my part) brand affordable and less daunting. Playing around with the Sakura Pigma, the play and flow seem stiffer, but l wonder if there’s a breaking in period. (Maybe the User has to be broken in, tho. Old dog, new tricks, etc.)
I really like the drawing of the suspicious catface in that collection of doodles. It looks like someone has stolen its beer and banana sandwiches.
You know what else is really great? An air fryer in your kitchen.
For me, BB is a major source for news (after Pacifica Radio). I appreciate getting solid information & editorials about not-so-wonderful things, & the wonderful people standing up to change them. To me BB & the BBS are also a source of thoughtful comment from people I respect (mostly) & solidarity in a terrible time. After all, you can’t have a unicorn chaser without something to chase. Thank you all.
