I think it’s safe to say that we have the utmost respect for anyone able to handle traditional media and do it with confidence. We were both trained traditionally, but working in a production environment has its demands, and working traditionally is not a good idea. Plus, computers are frickin’ cool!! Then Jake Parker goes and does Inktober! I mean really?! It’s amazing! Practically a call to arms!
So we did some reading, some digging through our old supply drawers and some spending. What we came out with was some Moleskin sketchbooks, a Col-Erase blue pencil and a Pentel Pocket Brush. So fun; absolutely the most fun drawing I’ve had in a long time. I am certainly not giving up digital, but I am addicted to this little brush pen like nothing else. Thank you Jake! Also, a big thanks to Skottie Young for spilling the beans about the brush pen. Nothing says inspiration then feeling that big kick in the ass!
Also…drum roll…We are officially sold out of Thoughts, Scribbles + Madness: Volume 2 and a Propaganda Packs! There is a small stack of Palindrone Robot Supply books left, so get them while they last. But big thanks to all who have supported us and written such great things about this year’s books. If you still want on, Stuart Ng and Labyrinth still have a few left each, but even they said they were running low. On to the next one!!! Don’t tell Dave I said that. He’ll pop.
You should keep this up. I love how organic this feels. Thanks for the nod, I do love that damn brush. And Jakes blog has been MIND BLOWING this past month.
More brush, more brush!
Hey guys, got my propaganda pack through yesterday! great stuff, loving the palindrome book, i’ve been struggling with strong silouhettes lately and that book’s full of them, so thanks. i am a bit gutted that one of the designs is similar to the robot in my third year film, so i think i am going to have to redesign him. Also Skottie Young is a legend, if it weren’t for him i wouldn’t have found out about you guys.
Keep it up, fellas

…I think I need one of those brush pens
I have the brush pen too, awesome. Of course I can’t do anything nearly as cool as what you posted here, incredible work!! I want to see more brush pen stuff!
Awesome INK drawings bros! I’m glad you are partaking of the goodness that is Inktober. I agree wholeheartedly about working in digital for production, but you gotta get your hands dirty every once and a while, right?
And big congrats on selling out of your books! Wait, does that mean you guys are sell outs?
working in non-digital media is always a breath of fresh air… this stuff kills some of your strong digital work IMHO. you can really feel how attached you became to the pen and the paper… thanks for posting this up! very inspiring!
Awesome stuff, I’m get one of those pens ASAP!
That is so cool, I wish could just steal your brains.
On a side note I have the copic brush tip pen and really like it. I would guess it is similar.
Now that’s a sketch book! Nice work my friend! Ain’t nothin like the raw power of ink!! Much congrats on the book sell outs as well! Awesome!
Another incredible post. Thanks for the blogging. Keep up the good work!
