Tools and stories

A pencil from a well-known brand name might help you draw better than a free pencil you found randomly on the street.

Part of the difference is the quality of the graphite, the hardness of its core, the list goes on.

Another part of the difference is the story you tell yourself about the pencil, your relationship to your work, and what it means to invest in your craft.

Are you buying tools, or stories?

Usually, you’re buying both.
