This is for an art trade with an officemate. A sketch of her face in exchange of wonderful calligraphy. Palomino Blackwing pencil on 300 gsm paper from Prestige Papers. This paper is a blessing shared from one of my fountain pen friends. Thank you so much! .

Abandoned at a shopping center where people wind down after work and before they commute home. It was a challenge to abandon this notebook inside vehicles, people kept noticing. Dice not included. .

These ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) were printed and abandoned during the holiday season. The original artwork was sketched with a Koh-i-noor pencil and digitally colored.
