28: Pens, Ink, Paper and Business Advice with The Pen Addict, Brad Dowdy
Mike finishes a nuthatch and is overwhelmed with the response. He connects some art supplies with people who need it and then shares the artwork of some local students. Mike is then joined by The Pen Addict, Brad Dowdy, who shares his journey from drawing tiny things to following his passion by starting a blog, a few businesses, and becoming a podcaster. Class is in session as Brad brings everyone through an intro to pens, ink, and paper and what it takes to create and maintain a successful business. ===== LINKS FROM THE SHOW ===== Nuthatch Expo Varius Pilot Razor Point Pilot Precise (V5/V7 series) Unibal Signo RT Jet Pens Platinum Carbon Ink Sailor Pro Gear ystudio Resin Fountain Pen Brad’s Lamy Safari Rhodia Leuchturm 1917 Apica Japanese paper Kokuyo Maruman Midori Tomoe River paper The Pen Addict Podcast Episodes #372 – We Used to Budget (w/Adina Hurley) ===== How to reach Brad Dowdy ===== The Pen Addict The Pen Addict Podcast The Pen Addict on Instagram ===== How to reach Mike Hendley ===== MikeHendley.com Show notes at DrawingInspiration.fm Instagram @MikeHendley Twitter @MikeHendley Podcast theme music is “Acid Jazz” By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0
