Big Fat Pencils and why I love them: Sitting Around Talking About Art Supplies

I draw all the time, and my hand always hurts. And if you draw, or write, for hours every day, you know what I mean. I started using a bunch of big fat pencils over the last decade, and I'd like to tell you about them.

A: Because it felt like the relationship had no **point**. 😎 A pencil walks into a job interview. The hiring manager looks it up and down and says, "So, what would you say is your biggest weakness?" The pencil thinks for a moment. "I tend to make a lot of mistakes... but I'm really good at moving past them." The manager nods. "And your greatest strength?" "Under pressure, I leave a mark." It got the job. Share this video!
