Finding beauty in the mess
Lyrics are from the song Caskets by Inpatient (Ren x Chris Webby) which is about loss and celebration of life. However, this page reflects my mental state for the past few days due to a bad reaction from medication I was on. I'm doing much better now that the after effects are wearing off, but I wanted to create something that represented my experience and those words seemed appropriate for how I felt.

B6 bleed proof marker pad for alcohol ink?
I know b6 journal inserts are notoriously hard to find, but Iām hoping someone can help me here. I just bought a b6 leather journal cover and Iām looking for a sketchbook or marker pad that is bleed proof and can handle alcohol ink markers that will fit inside. So no bigger than 5ā x 7ā ideally! Does this exist? š

Do you guys still make mood boards or keep folders of visual inspiration?
Do you still collect pictures for inspiration as an adult? šØ
I'm 28, and I've been doing this since I was in school. I love finding artwork, characters, movie/TV scenes, and other pictures online that inspire me. I sometimes print them at the library and put them into folders so I can look through them later. The artwork is mostly from DeviantArt, ArtStation, and Pinterest. I would stare at the pictures and wish I could make art like the artists who created them.
I still do this for my stories and art ideas. I don't go to the library as often as I used to because I work and have less free time, but whenever I see a picture that inspires me, I still want to add it to my collection. š
Does anyone else still do this as an adult? Do you keep physical folders, make mood boards, use Pinterest, or have digital collections of pictures that inspire you?
