Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been sketching in inks lately but I have yet to purchase a scanner. I'm still undecided on the model I want and stores only have those god damned all-in-ones printer/scanner/fax. Not seeing the scanners in person is making me indecisive. So far, my top choice is the Epson Perfection V500 Photo flatbed scanner.

None the less, I was at my parents' this week-end and took advantage of their little Canon LIDE and updated my scrapbook with ink sketches : [link]
