The subject isn't new, but the sketchbook is. This is the first drawing in my new Stillman & Birn Gamma series sketchbook. I liked the landscape format and size, and the paper quality and texture, but they are serious when they say "accepts light washes." "Light" should be in italics. The paper was quite curled at the corners when I looked at it this morning. Nevertheless, this is the best-quality, all-purpose, purchased sketchbook I've used. If it manages to get me drawing regularly again, that will be great.

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Not a Stillman & Birn Gamma series! Wow! Actually, strictly entre nous, it sounds like product placement. May I pay in gold or do you only accept Canadian bucks? TD needs all the help it can get.

Yes, that's the problem is it not? How much water will the sketch book take without cockling? Wish you well with your new acquisition.
