Tanuki, Gang-Gangs, Inks, and Watercolored Inks
So far I've been enjoying the fountain (nib) ink pen the most, beter than a brush. My postcards are so small the brush doesn't give me quite enough control. A nib pen is the perfect balance between control and uncontrol. I've practiced drawing and then painting (which results in smearing) and painting and then drawing in the wet, which results in bleeding. But it lends itself to a distressed and uncontrolled appearance and I appreciate the unpredictability. Also opened a few new colors from my watercolor set (a student watercolor set from Korea) and enjoyed playing with those. Posts to come!

I like the style. It feels expressive and illustrative.
