You're a treasure! Here I am twiddling my thumbs, just waiting for something to do
We can't have you getting bored, eh? :mrgreen:
Option 1 sounds the best - all in one place. It would be a great resource and I could direct students to the page!
I can supply pencil test images for you if you wish... and maybe Diane could give us a link to her review on the Blackwings as well?
And link back to you on your videos as they become appropriate. Sharpening etc.

you are a star Mike! ⭐

All sounds good to me. If I can't set it up this evening, I will tomorrow.

The only downside is this forum can't open links in new tabs or windows. I can do it with HTML but not with the BBcode used here. It's not a problem, just annoying that you have to use the back button to return to the host forum.

I've got a little project in mind too that would fit the new forum. I was writing to Marie this evening when I was reminded of a spreadsheet I used to use. I built it in a DOS app years ago, and it won't run on new computers. It was a "WHAT IF" spreadsheet that I used to price my Limited Editions. For example: What if I sell 80% at trade with a 50% discount? How is retail profit affected if I sell 10% matted and the rest loose? How would releasing X number of Artists Proofs affect my potential income? It belongs in the business section too, but I think it's also a "tool".

If that's of any use to any of you please let me know - it'll give me the incentive to actually build the thing :)
