I had to go to Nova Color in L.A. the other day to pick up some paint for Art Unraveled. Since we were in the area, I decided to stop off at Graphaids. I had several "little" things in my hand that all got put back on the shelves when I saw these:

Faber Castell Pitt artist pen big brush:

Oh baby!!

I can't find these damn things online (except info for retailers and even then, only on ONE website and no pictures). They are just like the regular Pitt pens but a big brush tip! They are waterproof and yummy. I picked out several colors and guess what?? They were so new that they weren't even priced yet!! Eeps! So, after searching through several catalogs and making several phone calls the person who was helping me "found" (*ahem*) a price for them (deal!!) Needless to say, I made out like a bandit. I couldn't wait to try them out. Here are all of the colors you see below on a painted page "testing" them out:

Like most markers, the light colors do not show up on a painted page. I'll save those pens for other uses. I've thrown the black, red and paynes grey-ish color in my bag to bring with me.
Here's what the tip looks like:

You guys know me and how much I LOVE pens. The tip on this pen is great. I can't wait to have more time to explore playing with the pens...

HEY! Did you guys see that at Rag & Bone, their small journals are BACK?? I rarely (if ever, hardly never-LOL) buy journals. I find that I like to work in journals that I make myself...but, I couldn't resist their small journals (having bought one myself several years ago). Rag & Bone are one of the, if not THE, best makers of books and journals on the face of the planet. Yes, I love their journals so much more then moleskines!
Any ways, with the sale I ordered um, some new journals...I can't wait and am hoping they arrive before my East Coast trip!
