Working in pen.

Jan 7

Written By Claiborne Colombo

working in pen is a lot like watercolor. you can't hide the fuck ups. you have to embrace them or leave them and move on. here's to letting go and messing up a bunch of paintings.

i have to always tell myself its only paper. its okay if you mess up. it doesn't matter. i still hate fucking up though. but at least it's just paper.
