These days have been looking a bit different from what they usually look like, although most of my tools have stayed the same.

My Analogue System for 2020

This post has been a long time coming! I’ve had it in the queue for a while, while other, seemingly more timely things, popped up, like Scriptus or Hallowe’en.

What’s in My Pen Roll: Fall Again

It’s fall again! About time. It’s glorious. Just the whisperings of the winter ahead. Before you know it I’ll be complaining about how cold it is. Perhaps we’ll be there by the time you finish reading this blog post.

Stationery Supplies and Set-Up for Travel, Part 2

Last week I posted about the pens and analogue supplies I’m bringing with me to Japan and Hong Kong. Now, in Part 2, I’m covering some of the tools and set-up I’m going to be using to get things done (and also what exactly are the things I’m hoping to get done).

Chinese New Year is rolling around (February 5th this year)!

As spring marches on into summer, I'm enjoying the settling in and slowing down, and recently, I did some cleaning and freshening up of my lineup.
