Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Hello! I forgot to make an intro post when I moved to this instance. Ope!

I am Nessie. For entertainment, I make messes and then try and figure out how to clean them up. Aka I’m an artist, haha.

I’m interested in lots of stuff! Stuff like this:

#Poorskills #Repurposing #Degrowth #ZeroWaste #SolarPunk #HopePunk #Gardening #ScratchCooking #SeedSaving #HouseKeeping #SimpleLiving #Dyslexia #ElderCare #Biking #SlowLiving #Drawing #PenAndInk #MixedMediaArt #AltText #DisabilityRights

And a bunch of other things that’ll pop up as I go along. Pleased to meet you all and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Continued thread

I think street sketch artists like caricature artists use Sharpie permanent markers because they're cheap and it looks impressive to people that "Hey, you can draw a portrait in 5 minutes with the same thing I use to write on freezer bags???"

There are markers that replicate that dark ink but expressive line.
The really big Pitt artist pen. Bullet nib, off the top of my head.

It depends on if you want your sold artwork to not fade and yellow.

Please please... 🙏🏿
I don't know who needs to hear this.

But Sharpie permanent markers are not archival. They're not even permanent. The ink was formulated to mark boxes and write on tape. It wasn't formulated to make lasting artwork. 😫

Sharpie will begin to fade and discolor pretty damn quick. It'll fade and discolor in a dark garage or attic, even.

Same with highlighters. Same with Bic pens.

Pls..

Foxgloves, their Latin name, Digitalis, means 'finger-like' and refers to the tubular flowers of the Foxglove. It is also the name of the drug that comes from the toxins of Foxgloves and is prescribed for heart conditions.
