I have favorite papers for printing and whatnot but I haven't really considered what would work best for pencil. Normally I use them in those cool coloring books that have mandalas and such. I have a big box of them and I want to enjoy them this winter so I'm getting my supplies lined up. All I need is paper.

There's a nice art supply store in town and the owner is a painter but keeps a good stock of pencils too. I buy my printing supplies from her. I like the place, it's old, in an old storefront where the floors creak... it's rather inspiring.

I like your work, nice blend of color and texture, made me curious about the surface.
