Ballpoint pen in every colour my beloved Zebra F-301 comes in: black, blue, red, and green. Plus a few markers and yellow highlighter.
The Money Train was a special feature that came around occasionally back when I was working all-night volunteer shifts at the bingo hall on behalf of Artcite, our local artist run centre (link: Artcite Inc). I don’t know if I was ever actually present when the Money Train arrived (if I was, it will turn up in this book eventually) but it features heavily in this sketchbook and the big blue one, both of which I used to bring to the bingo and draw in during our significant chunks of downtime.
This was also a period in our lives when we used to put my partner’s daughter on the Greyhound bus every other Friday to go stay with her mom in another city, and after the bus we’d eat pizza at Terra Cotta (link: Terra Cotta Pizzeria) and share a half litre of red wine. Back then I only had about a 50% chance of getting a migraine from drinking red wine; now it’s more like 100%. And yes, that song lyric is misquoted, whoopsie!
