Twice the speed.

It seems like a million years ago, the Baroness Ida von Blitzenstein gave me a pencil. Not just any pencil. She gave me a Palomino Blackwing 602.

If Ticonderogas are the F16 of pencils, the Blackwings are the Stealth bombers.

Needless to say, I finally started using this treasured gift. And oh, sweet baby Batman. I’m in love.

Behold the beauty:

It is pure sex.

So, I took the liberty of adding a wide selection of Palomino products to My Wishlist to make your purchasing of pencils for me as painless as possible. I also added a handful of Ticonderogas as well. To give you options.

This weekend flew by in a swirl of cheese and fried food mixed with my crazy relatives and friends and brainstorming/panicking about this upcoming printing gig.

My food choices I’ll regret very soon as I attempt to workout.

My choice of relatives and friends, well, you know…

As for the printing gig, it is two and a half weeks away and I have no supplies in hand. I have a rough idea of what I’m going to do. But I have nothing concrete or physically laid out. Which is haunting my dreams now.

Maybe I’ll get my supplies in today and I can start messing with them.

And with that, I’m off.

See ya’ tomorrow.

More soon. ~SC
