This interview with Drew Brophy is full of wise and inspiring insights from someone who has been working as an artist for 30 years.

Drew discusses how he was discouraged from making his art for several years, simply because it was different to what people knew. He persevered and figured out how to travel the world and get paid to paint surfboards.
Drew has been using Posca paint markers since the late 1980s. He would import the pens himself and give them away to other artists.
In the final part of the interview Drew talks about how bad the “tortured artist” and “starving artist” myths are. He gives examples of all the different types of commercial artists earning a good income from their art. There is more about Drew’s journey and early years in his book painting surfboards and chasing waves.

Pebble Stationery make affordably priced notebooks with Tomoe River paper. This paper is particularly well suited to drawing and painting with inks. Especially fountain pen inks, because it shows off their full sheening and shading potentials.
Kim talks to co-founder Lois Ho about creating a stationery brand from scratch via Kickstarter, their matching pencils, and charity work.
Tomoe River paper is also used in the Hobonichi diaries/journals. Many people use them for combined art and bullet journalling because the paper handles inks well, many different pens, and even light watercolour.
However, it is very thin paper. There is a lot of show-through, and the paper will go wavy when wet. Fans of the ultra-thin 52 gsm paper like it for its crinkly feel.
Future Art Supply Posse guest Candace Milner uses Tomoe River paper for her pattern drawings.
