Review by Tina Koyama My daily-carry is a Rickshaw Bags messenger bag that tidily fits my sketching stuff as well as all my usual “purse” stuff, and I easily take it everywhere. The only time I don’t like to carry it is when I’m taking a 3-mile fitness walk around my neighborhood lake. For that…

Ink Review: Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine
Review by Laura Cameron I feel like I made my love of purple clear last year, so I was relatively unsurprised when Jesi sent me some samples of purple inks she has acquired recently. One of these was Rohrer & Klingner’s Limited Edition Aubergine (50mL for $12.95 from Vanness Pens). Aubergine is a deep dark…
Notebook Review: Midori A5 Color Paper Notebook

Notebook Review: Yamamoto Ro-Biki
Review by Laura Cameron Months ago, when I heard Brad review the Yamamoto Ro-Biki Notebooks ($9.00) I was intrigued. I don’t know whether it was the size/shape or the fact that the softcover is waxed and the paper is 100% recycled that piqued my interest, but I added one to my cart at JetPens and…
