MadL Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I use'd t' do a lot o' graphite pencil 'n carbothelo drawin (still have a bunch o' stuff from late night guard duty shifts in th' Army), I like th' carbothelo, great for blending effects. Then for some time I painted miniatures so I had many paints, then for some time it was color'd thread for restoring old fishing poles (and anything I could wrap up...like th' girl next door); but now a days it be mostly just a computer 'n when I be in a hurry I just grab a camera ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

Check on eBay - they often have wooden carpenter's chests that are perfect for this sort of thing. They can even have layers of sliding trays inside. I have one like that and I got it for a REALLY reasonable price. Here's a couple of pics of it: Gotta love eBay!

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I really lucked out finding that particular chest - although I find similar items from time to time. I've picked up several wooden chests via eBay. Seriously - keep a weather eye out for wooden chests at eBay and you'll find one a lot like this.

Lady Cassandra Seahawke Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Those items previously listed are just the ones I keep at my home. I have a small shop with the rest of m'stuff. OH on previous list forgot to mention the sandpaper, small saw and such. Also, I do have some beads made of bone. Items kept at home are in stackable totes with lockable lids, within them I keep similar items together (yes organized) in zip lock bags. I started that when it began to get to a point of couldn't find things without digging into everything. The small shop I got only recently and am still trying to get that organized. Shop cost...Very reasonable as rents go. The shop is in an artists village building down near the river. The city is constructing a park nearby and the owners of the building is looking into getting an art fair event going after the park is opened.

Patrick Hand Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I use mostly pen and ink (well and a pencil and eraser) I have a small pouch that I made that I attach to the clipboard.... it's getting kinda grungy now.... I might have to make a new one (and this time. I'll add even more pockets for stuff, 'cause there is alway something else that I want in th' thing....) But for cartooning, in the pouch are...... A 00/.30 Rapidograph.... A black "Le Pen"... a Fine Point "Sharpie" (I gotta get a new on, I use th' Sharpie for filling in the black areas..... but this one is running outta ink) ... a 0.5 Rotring mechanical pencil. a bottle of black Rapidograph India Ink, an eraser, and a chunk of toilet paper to clean off the tip of the Rapidograph when it leaks...... Other than for the sketchbooks, most of what I draw is scanned onto the computer and colored in Photoshop.... so I just use cheap printer paper to draw on. Alla the other stuff is in th' "Art Drawer".... paint, imitation gold leaf, glue, Sculpy... anything for art projects.... I have two other drawers for tools for heaver projects.....

silas thatcher Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 my art work ??? mostly work with wood - alot of construction at the house, different colors - what i think would blend together nicely as i redo the outside of the house, my imagination - coming up with the beat-all-end-all deck design,metal - for doing body work on cars, paint - for painting said cars, fiberglass - for boat repair, paint again- for said boats, would like to think my canvas work is an art, but then no one else has seen it yet !!! my 35mm camera - i have alot of very good shots, but they are far between, landscaping - learned alot on our yard not really "artwork" per say, but i like to think that a beautifully done anything is a work of art, whether it is a painting, an orchesteral piece, sculpture- a knife can be a work of art, a design of a deck, or landscape design. other than that, i can't draw worth a crap, can't dance, can't sing, can't tell great stories... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matusalem Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Prismacolor markers, Pilot Fineliner, staedtler white erasers, and #11 X-acto knives. Anybudy have any metal drawer cabinets? I need a lot of drawers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It depends on which medium I'm playing around in. ● A fishing tackle box full of oil-based model paints, brushes, model glue etc.● A drawer full of watercolor colored pencils. (I much prefer the smearable pencils. You can do some really neat blending things when you draw.)● A box full supplies for haunted house props that looks like a junk kit - paint brushes, giant rubber bands, tape, toilet paper (my favorite haunted house medium), paper mache embedded linen, fabric stiffener, various knives & chisels, air brushes and equipment as well as many other curious odds and ends for making props.● A sister box full of cables, pulleys, eyehooks, ropes, tensioners and whatnot. (Lots of whatnot.)● A storage container full of water-based paints, brushes and so forth. And I don't even want to start to explain all the woodworking junk I've got strewn about the house and garage for cabinet-making and similar things. There's probably more that I'm not thinking of. It depends on what hobby is taking my fancy. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

Ransom Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ummm, it would be easier for me to list the stuff I don't have — like oil paints. I have TONS of stuff, most organized in stacking Rubbermaid storage units with drawers. Walls of them. I should buy stock in Rubbermaid. I love the carpenter's chest Jill posted a pic of, but I'd need a dozen of them, at the very least. Sheesh, I still use paintbrushes I've had since I was in my twenties—and they look it! LOL Partial list: Sharpie pens watercolor pencils watercolor crayons regular color pencils - three different sets oil pastels chalk acrylic paints acrylic gel medium rubber stamps ink pads embossing powder tons of clip art from magazines stickers misc stuff - fake coins, restaurant coasters, feathers, fake gems, etc glitter glitter glue small make-up sponges for applying paint stencils — letters and designs And now my own photographs that I mess around with in Photoshop. Honestly, I'll literally throw anything into a picture if I can get it to stick. (There's probably a joke there, but...) This is just the art stuff. There is also the sewing stuff, and the jewelry stuff! And Lady Cassandra, I am sooooo jealous that you have a whole shop to use as a studio. Let's hope the landlord is successful in getting an art fair going. You'd be sitting pretty for sure! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I have a plethora of places where I keep my creative works supplies. Besides boxes of supplies and tools in the attic and garage, I have overflowing baskets above and beneath my worktable, a fishing tackle box, a small antique Chinese box, some antique spice boxes and this (the only thing I have a picture of): Woodworking tools, wood (lots), sewing and embroidery accoutrement (LOTS), paints (watercolour, gouache and acrylic), a plethora of brushes, coloured pencils, Rapidograph pens, pastels and found items, such as silver beads, ribbon and shark teeth I used to collect when I used to dive in a shark tank.

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I've pottery tools, woodworking tools, sewing machine (lots of thread and related stuff), embroidery and cross stich items, tracing paper, paints (watercolor, oil, acrylic), pastels, crayons, markers (regular, stinky and fabric), colored pencils, stencils (pyrate and halloween), stamps (and a plethora of ink), pewter seals and wax, metal beads and threading, calligraphy pens, various bits of paper (oriental, old west, construction, frames), wire (copper, green, black), a tracing box, dremmel tool and a drafting table, and I've yet to get all of the smaller items under control on my poor dining room table. Got the sewing bits 'n bobs and stamps secured in two rubbermaid tubs though. I guess that's a start. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales.
