Night Owl Shenanigans And How I Became A Criminal, But Not Really

It will soon be 4am, which has typically been my bedtime for the past two weeks. I love staying up late, but c'mon, even I have to admit that 4am is a bit excessive. Anyway, I'm doing it for you. My lovely readers and art aficionado's. That's right. I could be on my way home right now, but instead I sit here at work, in the gallery, typing for my fans. All three of you.

I've been working on the "store" section of my site for a few days and I have finally finished enough that it is now worth uploading. I've checked and double checked my handiwork, so I hope there are no typos and I really hope that all the links are correct. Adding things to an online shopping cart seems to allow for a lot of that amazing copy/paste feature. A few minutes ago I noticed that one particular product had the description for a completely different product. So, I hope I caught all those.

Awhile back I made a video of myself drawing with a Krink K-71 marker. First of all, it's an awesome maker. Everything Krink makes I've been pretty excited about.





After I posted the video, which, to inflate my ego, has been viewed over 3,000 times on youtube (like oh my gosh, I'm so awesome!), a lot of people have asked where they could get a Krink K-71. Naturally, not everybody lives in this quaint little San Luis Obispo town, so coming to the gallery to pick up a marker hasn't been a feasible option. Now, FINALLY, I have it available on my site.

I have also added the equally fabulous K-60 Squeeze Marker to the site.





And here's an example of what that can do.





That little character in the corner was drawn with the K-60. Nice fat bold line. I love this marker! For reals.

Don't worry, I'm almost done ranting and raving.

Sadly, I don't have any examples of the On The Run Flowpen, but it's also awesome. The ink is great and the biggest difference between the Flowpen and the Krinks is that this one has a FAT ASS chisel tip. "Fat Ass" is the official term. I swear. I mean look at this thing. This isn't the type of chisel tip you take home to meet mom and dad.








Damn, it is now a lot closer to 4am than when I started this enlightening little tome. Now it is time for me to call it a night so I will end with a kicker. Or two.

Kicker One, in which I guide you to the place you can purchase the above mentioned products: www.jeffclaassen.com/store.
Kicker Two, in which I tease you by dangling an enticing story in front of your face: the other day I shoplifted and much to my surprise it felt quite liberating.

I picked up an On The Run Flowpen last year from Jeff, and it lives in my bag daily. I've only really used it for legal things, like writing passive aggressive notes on my trash bins at work for the neighbors. It gets the job done!
