The Joys Of Speed. Ball, That Is.

A couple of weeks ago I was at Nic's house and when there is india ink and paint brushes around it's useless to fight the urge to play. If you're a painter and you haven't messed around with india ink I highly recommend it. I started using it a year and a half ago and haven't turned back. The only time I use black acrylic paint now is if I need to fill in large sections or to paint the edges of paintings. Acrylic is just so clumpy and thick. Take a look at those little teeth on that face above. I could never do that with acrylic. Here's the stuff I've been using.

It's only two ounces, but a little bit goes a long way. After a year and a half of using this stuff I have never used a whole jar. The only reason I've had to buy it multiple times is because I end up spilling it all over myself. I've ruined at least two hoodies now and a couple of shirts. Anyway, you can find this at practically any art/craft store. Try it out and let me know what you think.
