Sakura Summer Giveaway!

I've been fortunate enough to collaborate with Sakura of America (the creators of my favorite pens) on creative projects over the last couple years. I am so excited to host a fun giveaway to celebrate the launch of their newly redesigned website and the release of another amazing tool of the trade, Pigma Professional Brush pens! 

While I love experimenting with all their products, their rich, highly pigmented black pens and markers hold a special place in my heart and in my creative arsenal. 

Sakura's new Pigma Professional Brush series offers the ultimate in versatility.  Their durable brush nibs respond to instant changes in pressure or direction with a silky smooth, accurate and consistent ink flow.  The deep black, archival quality Pigma® ink ensures the mark will last a lifetime. These pens are the best of both worlds for artists who typically create using brushes because they offer the same fluidity and ease, but in a portable and mess-free package. 

As someone who is generally more comfortable with a pen than brush, it's really fun to be able to experiment with these flexible nibs, yet preserve the technique and accuracy that is so important to my signature style. 

Now onto the good stuff!

TWO Lucky Winners will receive:

• 3 pack of Pigma Professional Brush pens (fine, medium and bold nibs)

• 3 pack of Pigma Micron pens (sizes 01, 03 and 05)

• 3 blank Scout Book notebooks (1 large, 2 small) 

• A mystery 11x14" print my me!
