After this morning's breakfast/coffee gathering at Denny's down at the Flying J, did some more reading of Curt Swan: A Life In Comics.
When I was done with that, I headed to the garage to get my art equipment and supplies out. The drawing bug has been building up for some time, and the Swan book got me even more motivated. Previously, I had no time for drawing due my work hours. Now that I'm retired, I can get back into it again.

Going through the art box and my tabletop easel's drawer after cleaning them, I found that some items needed replacing. The India inks were all dried up and I needed new brushes and pens. Along with those, I need a new drawing board. I had one for around 50 years when I took the Famous Artists course back in the 1970s. I tossed it when I moved as it had gotten old, chipped and cracked. One good thing I discovered, the Rapidograph ink was still good. I have plenty of pencils.
So, I ordered a new board and the other stuff. Luckily, I still have a good supply of drawing paper and bristol paper.
It'll be nice to get back to drawing again. It has been a while.

I did once, and you published it, years ago. - A.
