Hello fellow artists! This here is a Link directory for all my favorite tools, materials, and creative resources that support my art practice. These are the things I genuinely use and return to in my own work.
I believe that sharing knowledge and inspiration helps strengthen creative communities, and my hope is that this space serves as a helpful starting point for other artists exploring their own creative processes.
Canon Canoscan Lide 300 Scanner
This scanner is simple, reliable, and perfect for digitizing artwork and documents at home. It produces clear, true-to-color scans that make it easy to upload prints, share designs, or keep organized records. I appreciate how compact it is and how quickly it scans without complicated setup or bulky equipment.
UBeesize 12″ Desk Ring Light with Stand and Phone Holder
This ring light is a versatile and affordable way to improve the quality of photos and videos. The adjustable stand and phone holder make it easy to film content in multiple ways, including overhead shots, face-to-camera recording, or angled process videos. I especially like the three lighting modes, which let you switch from cool white to warm tones depending on the mood or setting you want.
Ohuhu Acrylic Paint Markers
These acrylic paint markers are vibrant, smooth, and surprisingly versatile. The brush tips make it easy to switch between detailed lines and painterly fills, and the ink flows evenly with great opacity on surfaces like wood, paper, and craft projects. I love how quickly they dry with a clean matte finish, which helps prevent smudging while working. I’d recommend them to artists and crafters who want the look of acrylic paint in a convenient, portable format.
COORIART 6PK Liquid Chrome Markers
These chrome markers create a bold, mirror-like metallic finish that instantly adds eye-catching detail to artwork and craft projects. The ink goes on smoothly with strong coverage, making it easy to highlight edges, lettering, or decorative accents on surfaces like plastic, metal, and sealed wood. I like having multiple tip sizes for both fine details and broader fills, which makes them feel more versatile than typical paint pens.
Strathmore 460-19 500 Series Visual Mixed Media Journal
This is single-handedly the best sketchbook and mixed media journal I’ve ever used, and after trying many brands, it’s the only one I will buy now. The paper is thick, durable, and truly holds up to everything — pens, markers, ink, and even watercolor — with no bleeding or wrinkling. It gives me the confidence to experiment freely because the pages stay smooth and strong no matter what I throw at them. I use this journal for literally all of my sketches and mixed media work, and at this point I’m completely ride-or-die for this product.
