Great news, all. After talking to the drafting instructor at the tech college I'm attending, she managed to hook me up with a catalog for drafting supplies that she uses in her class, and thanks to that, I've been introduced to something I've been looking for for a very long time: a steady supply of non-repro blue lead!
KA-WOOT!!!
For those of you who do not know, comic book pencilers usually do their layouts and initial sketches in a non-repro blue lead. Usually they are easier to erase and are not reproduced by most scanners and copiers, hence the "non-repro" part of the name.
There's only one catch tho; they're professional drafting leads. I've had no experience with sharpening the darn things once they begin to lose their points and whatnot. It's going to be a new experience. I'll let you know how it all goes.
P.S. I'm going to start compiling a list of links to the stupidest people on the internet and in the media. I'll give you a hint on a few of the names. One starts with "S" and ends in "ean Hannity." Another starts with "R" and ends in "ush Limbaugh." You see where I'm going with this, right? Well, perhaps "stupid" might be an inappropriate label. After all, most of them are "relatively" smart and over-tout the merits of their own "intellectual honesty" (Mr. Hannity, I'm looking at you...), but they are blindly biased and moreover are trying to inflict that bias on others. Not only is that stupid, but its a tad hurtful to us as a society, no?
