Looking go anything retro you may not need anymore. Old inks , plotter pens , drafting gear , anything reprographic related.

I hate marketing and promotion. But I love making these. I’m having great fun experimenting and creating for myself and trading with other artists and creators. Anyone else in the same boat as I am ? Art for arts sake vs $€£¥

I used Daler Rowney white to apply a base coat. The used FOUNTAIN PEN inks. So good. I’m mad I’ve never tried them before. Vibrant , flowed fantastic , no need to thin them , and water cleanup ! Plus she likes the “ jazzing “

So I added some airbrushed spheres and lines This was actually fountain pen inks. So vibrant and effortless to use. I painted a layer of white. Then the colours. Yellow was daler rowney yellow , I don’t have any fountain pen yellows.

My sister bought an abstract painting and thought it looked bland. Asked me to “ jazz it up “ I’ve used airbrushes for 35 years and NEVER used inks. Now I’m mad I haven’t , the results were amazing , so much vibrancy. Noodlers inks were used. Yellow was FW Daler Rowney.

Digital render of a project of mine. Then I laser printed the linework and used my basic set to try and colour it. It’s harder than I expected. But great fun.

I’m working on done colouring pages and a few asked if the lines are too close or not. I don’t think they are. This is a test after printing on marker osier from my laser printer ( which is almost out of toner ). I need a better set of markers with more pastels / light colours

I created this by using my own art software to create a contour map of a woman’s face ( a photo from a fashion ad in vogue March 1984) then the stripes between bands averaged out the chroma values then sorts them in order by the color spectrum ROYGBIV. I should have recorded the process as a video but I do t know how to do that ……yet I hope posting an image is ok

I was cleaning up my computer room and found some awesome things. First is this MZ33 with a dead gum stick that won’t hold a charge :( this is after a cursory clean up and test. I went full tilt with ipa 91% and q tips after. The person that told me to post here mentioned there are usb rechargeable batteries I can get to replace the old one ?
