A few people have asked me what my stuff is. If like me you have been buying and trying out new materials, you end up with quite a collection. I have so much that I have to organise it in metal drawers. These are a few I used today. Acrylic inks and liquid flow paints. Derwent Intense pencils and the incredibly rare Karisma crayons that Ive had for over thirty years, and also some oil based Durer pencils and a Conte Pierre Noire that I use for drawing. I arrange the inks into colours so I can find them ... Blues and Greens Reds and Yellows I do the same with Oils paints and Acrylics too its probably a bit anal but its easy to find any 'stuff' I want

Justin are you sure that not a art warehouse, you must have tons of stuff squirrelled away in there .

Loads of stuff Paul, and I’m always on the lookout for more metal storage units. I decided that when I was going to try to make something out of painting I would buy enough gear for at least several years and two large bags of rice. We still have a bag and a half of rice so won’t starve. I’m the same with music gear, I’m ready to play anything with anyone pretty much anywhere and fortunately things are picking up again... my grandfather always said spend it before the taxman cometh and taketh it all away so I always invest 50% back into the business

Great to see your collection of ‘stuff’ Justin. You look pretty well organised. I really like your work and wish you a successful career.  I’m sure most of us collect stuff that we perhaps try but rarely use, but obviously had to have at the time! Looks like you are putting yours to good use. 👍🏻

Impressive collection, Justin!  I have my acrylic paints in 5 drawers.  Blue and green, reds and yellow, black and white, browns, mediums & flow improver.  I will post a picture of my pencil collection some time.   Well done for organising it all.
