This blog is usually about my own adventures in sketching. Today, however, I want to tell you about something rather unusual in the world of drawing.
Vashon Artist and Cartoonist, Jim Woodring, has a very large dip pen with which he makes very large drawings. It’s 7 pounds and 5 feet long.

It’s interesting to see him in action with the pen on last night’s Evening (a local TV show).
I knew I’d seen this before. Gabi Campanario, “the Seattle Sketcher”, did a column about Jim, way back at the beginning of 2011.
Now there is a exhibit of the drawings done with the large dip pen open at the Frye through 4/16
