This is my usual drawing kit for on site urban sketching.
This is what I always carry in my laptop case: a moleskine watercolour 13x20cm, a small watercolour case with 12 half pan colours, four different fountainpens with different inks (sometimes I add a Noodlers flex nib pen, but unfortunately it leaks lately), a pentel black paintbrush, some pencils and a water filled Koi waterbrush.
I also carry 2 red sable brushes; I had to cut the holder in half to make it fit in the pencilbag.
Say what?!
Since Thor will now, but probably temporarily, be a female character can we expect other female Marvel characters in our future like.... Spidergirl?

In 1986 when I was working on my Autographs project, I was able to contact Elizabeth Taylor, through her agent, and she was gracious enough to autograph this drawing that I did of her. I didn't meet her, but I was very pleased she liked the drawing enough to sign it. Also, I think it was because of her signing this drawing that got Michael Jackson to take notice of my work. They were great friends, and when I contacted his office to sign a drawing, he eventually saw this drawing and he agreed to sign the drawing I did of him. Which led to Michael hiring me to illustrate his coloring book, Moonwalker - The Coloring Book.
My Autographs project was something I came up with and worked on during the 1980s and early 1990s. I would do a drawing of a famous person and search them out to see if they would autograph it. I met many of them. Some of the people who signed my drawings were; President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy Reagan (this was when he was President and my drawing was in the Oval Office in the White House!), Andy Warhol, Al Hirschfeld, David Levine, Liza Minnelli, Stephen Sondheim, Spike Lee, Paloma Picasso (I have a signed Picasso!), Lucille Ball, Jeremy Irons, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Malcom Forbes, The Eurythmics (Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart) and Molly Ringwald to name a few.
I also had a number of rejections; Jacqueline Onassis, Bette Midler, Yoko Ono, Donald Trump, Katherine Hepburn (who wrote me a wonderful note - which she signed - so I got my autograph) and Jerry Seinfeld. There were some others. But, most of the people I contacted autographed their drawings.
It was a great project, I just did it for myself and I had a lot of fun. Meeting many of these people was a thrill!! I would have loved to have met Elizabeth Taylor in person, just to look into those beautiful violet eyes of hers!!
