After noting for years that the mighty pen of *Taral Wayne*,art ghod, has long been usually of the ballpoint variety, I thought I try using one myself with intriguing results. There still remains the matter of coloring and/or filling in the blacks, but I rather like the more flexible lines the bp allows me. Also, what little I did in the way of artwork (margin scribbles on my class notes in HS and college) was done with just such a pen.

Spent the past several days in the unartistic activities involved with Spring Cleaning (it's spring someplace, Australia?), resulting in my having more room to maneuver indoors.
