I’ve never lived in a place where getting art supplies from an actual art store was ever easy.  Or maybe I’ve just always been cheap.  You see, most of the ink pens that I use for my ink drawings are just regular office supply.  I’ve learned a lot about these pens – which ones bleed with water and what color of black they are, which ones last the longest, etc.

I was reminiscing about the kind of pens I most liked to find when I reminded myself that the sanford Expresso is no more.  These were awesome pens, sold by the box to offices everywhere.  They came in multiple colors, multiple tip sizes, lasted a good amount of time, and didn’t fray at the tip like other felt tip pens (erm, like expensive ones from the art store).

I mourn you sanford Expresso, and the last little supply I could get my hands on can never replace your presence in my office supply store.
