Thank you!
Here’s another old one. Seems like I moved on from pointillism to Steinberg but the café fixation remained.

Another version of my last post.
I have a lot of newsprint paper that I've been using for my pencil sketches recently, loose 18x24 sheets that I've been cutting into 9x12s.. I like the way the paper looks, and although the archival properties are poor, it's not as if what I'm doing now needs to last for years; it's all just practice.

@Kaputnik, I like this one. Great job

I've been away for a while. We've moved and the inks are still in a box, somewhere. I did find a three pack of small Iroshizuku bottles ((tsukushi, yama- budo, kon-peki) and the glass dip. This is from what is shaping up to be a weekly challenge on another forum: Cherry Blossoms.

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

Great job @catbert and @kaputnik. I'm still trying to figure out with that prompt. I'm a bit at loss. If I want to be lazy I could repost by be-wigged Vivaldi
If I can’t think of anything else, there will definitely be more pigs in wigs.
