Sketchbook and Pentel Pens

We keep a small steno pad in the car to write down ideas. Or the names of people we hear on NPR.
And while we're waiting at the bank or at a Sonic Drive-In, we can make sketches.
This is one from February.

This is my favorite pen. I buy them in 4-packs at Staples. It's a Pentel EnerGel 0.5mm. I like them with caps instead retractable. I like the caps because it's old school, one step up from quill and ink bottles. (And if I have to let a customer borrow it, I hang onto the cap so they have to give it back!)

The writing is smooth. The sketching power is great. (I used to use the 1.0mm but it gets a little fat for everyday writing and order taking.)

So that's my secret.

Easter Bunny

A sketch I did of Louie (the cat) a year or so ago.

He's dressed as a the Easter Bunny.

He's dressed as Santa Claus.

He has a mouse yo-yo.

He is a clever cat.

He does stand up like a Meerkat too.

When he was a kitten, he and his sister would run through the kitchen like Jesus lizards.

His sister, Cozy, sits up in front of the wall furnace in the perfect Lucky Kitty pose, one arm stretched out in front toward the furnace, the left arm reaching high in the air above her.
