“It is important to me that the ink is waterproof and lightfast, and that the pens can be easily combined with other materials and techniques.”
James Gardiner
Pencil Artist & Illustrator
"Something that I think is really important is that the pencils I work with are sturdy and to not break easily when using pressure or while sharpening. That the pencil glides well across the page to give that full effect."

“When it comes to my pens, reliability and strong pigmentation are essential. I value tools that are high-quality, effortless to use, and comfortable enough to paint with for hours without strain. I especially appreciate it when one pen can combine multiple functions in a single tool.”

“For me, it’s really important that my tools are reliable, that they give off enough color, and that the tip can withstand some pressure.”
