Welcome to the SneakyArt Post!
some good things about it
Hello person.
Welcome to The SneakyArt Post. This is a weekly newsletter of SneakyArt and notes from my self-education as an artist.
I think you will like this newsletter and should subscribe to it.
What is it?
#SneakyArt is the practice of drawing beauty from your world, without drawing attention.
It is drawn in public places, inside a little sketchbook, with a fountain pen.
The subjects are not told before or after.
They don’t find out at all.
It’s very hush hush.
SneakyArt is everywhere.
It is constantly being made by the flux of everyday life and human interactions.
This is just another way of looking at it.
Really cool work!
Nishant I'm sure you have thoughts about fountain pens. Do you always use the same yellow Lamy, or do you have other favorites? What appeals most in the form and feel of the pen and the versatility and predictability of the lines? I've been using fountain pens since they were (somewhat) popular in my hippie grade-school in the 80s, and I can't write (or draw) with anything else... my standard, 'go-to' has been the $30 Lamy charcoal/graphite, medium nib, which I find has a better/ different feel than the other Lamys, even the much more expensive ones (I lose pens like I lose keys). I find that one has to buy these from actual pen stores (it's possible via Amazon), as there are so many counterfeits among the top sellers Amazon that the odds are higher than not you'll get a fake that will fall apart in a few days. All best, Ethan
