   Hi Fran! As an avid art journaler and obsessive doodler, I must throw my hat in the ring on this! Are these some of the pens you used to create your graffitti piece for the Artwords prompt? Very cool!

   OMG, I want these pens! LOL! I hear Kelly Kilmer raving about them all the time! I have a few gel pens but haven’t tried some of these you mentioned! Hmmm…. I’m wondering if I can think of a good bribe to swing things in my favor! ;]
   Hey, I miss you girlfriend! Can’t wait to see you this week.

   Oh, count me in too. I love all kinds of pens, but the Jelly roll pens are the best yet. I think so anyway.

    [...] The final page I’m working on has a self-portrait of MC Escher. I’m enjoying cutting up hand-decorated papers to dress him up. It’s not done yet, and it is kind of silly, but I like it. On the right side, I’m creating a layout about the dreams of children. I think that, as an artist, we all have to have a bit of active child in us, so I feel as if I need to somehow talk about that in my drawing and it contrasts well, I think, with the seriousness of the unadorned portrait. Don’t forget to leave a comment so you, too, can be entered into the Sakura “Box of Inspiration” contest! I will draw a name Monday, January 22nd at 9 am Mountain Time. You can enter up to once a day by commenting in this blog. Each comment gets you another chance to win this prize worth more than $40 retail! [...]
