Art Haul - Ecoline Brushes for days, Grog squeezers & Karin decobrush

[@silviaguimaraes9485]

the little getting out of the frame in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣

[@monkeymintaka]

Can't keep things too serious around here!

[@CheekyMissy]

Those squeezer markers are basically chunky bingo dotters lol! So cool!

[@monkeymintaka]

yes! I thought they looked familiar. I haven't seen them in real life but know them from films :)

[@jenniferwright2829]

The chaos that flows out of your mind into your videos makes me so happy! I laugh out loud every time because I relate so hard. Thank you for being you!!!

[@monkeymintaka]

Hhhmmm chaos you say? It all seems so normal to me haha.

[@jenniferwright2829]

@monkeymintaka so true! My chaos feels normal to me too, it just makes life more fun!

[@TheCactusTreeStudio]

Oh I love you ! You’re hilarious 😂 I can’t wait to watch all your other videos

[@monkeymintaka]

Ahh thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@susanjohnson7854]

Since you own the ecoline primary inks, you might be able to modify some of the colours you think you won't use, like the green. I don't know how much room is in the pen reservoir, but a mixed colour could be more useful. Also, I think posca make large (expensive) markers with sponge applicator -all the fun without the smell. Loved your haul!!

[@monkeymintaka]

yes! people have mentioned that to me in the past and it's always such a good idea, but i forget to do it. I must put it on my list :)

[@ArtySubu]

So tempted to get more ecolines but reminding myself I just got a bunch more decobrushes!

[@monkeymintaka]

Ecolines have a much different feel. I really like them :)

[@traceyelliott6891]

Love watching you as I paint in my studio, you are such a fun, honest, genuine person. Love it!! Thanks for being my number one person i seek out on KZbin. I have discovered this soap for cleaning paint brushes, even if you think they can’t be bought back from death, try this. It’s amazing!! I could get it online to Australia so I’m sure you’ll have no probs getting it. It’s called the Marseilles Olive Soap Cube.

[@monkeymintaka]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment :) It has brightened my day! I have heard of that soap before! It looks so fancy.

[@doreenstrachan1119]

I like all your ecoline colours 😊. Enjoy playing with them

[@monkeymintaka]

Thank you 🤗

[@LucysArtNSoul]

Not 2 minutes in and I'm already laughing out loud, your videos are the best!

[@monkeymintaka]

Glad you like them!

[@niccimae]

You should mix the primary ecolines into your own colors and use them in old waterbrushes!

[@monkeymintaka]

Yes! I love that idea. I have been wanting to do something like that for a while. I always forget.

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

Nice to meet the new supplies! Like you, I'm a bit iffy about the Ecoline pens. They're fun to use, but the colours are really similar... Then there are gaps. The fading thing is also a problem, I guess you'd need to digitize everything right away. Plus of course the refill inks take so much space. 😂 Question about the Grogs. Was there a particular reason why you bought them instead of the Posca/Molotow/Montana drip pens/squeezers/whatever they call them? I've been wanting to try the Molotow ones, but haven't yet taken the plunge. Didn't like the Mop'Rs (Poscas), mainly because of the tip texture, and I'm thinking I might be more interested in the rollerball version. But that might have too much flow (drips). 🤔

[@monkeymintaka]

I didn't realise some of those colours would be so similar. But when a couple of them are empty I can always mix my own colours to do in them :) For the grogs, i literally just bought them because I saw them. I didn't know the other brands had similar things! I don't often seek out / browse art materials. i always seem to buy things when I see someone else use them. I am highly suggestible.

[@BunnyOnTheCoast]

OMG! I love the bag!!! I have a fluffy goosey keyring that matches that! I got sick after birbfest, so I'm sneezy and snotty but this video is making me laugh and smile, thanks 😅🤧😷

[@monkeymintaka]

oh now :( Hope you are feeling better! Jess makes amazing things, i am a super fan!

[@BunnyOnTheCoast]

@monkeymintaka Getting there I'm a little better today, birbfest wore us all out! 🤣

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

I watched a video comparing Karen ink marker pens vs Sharpie ink marker pens. Very interesting comparison….

[@monkeymintaka]

I have only even used the normal black sharpie. I didn't know they had other types!

[@oficinacaracolinho]

Now I want the graffiti squeezers 🤩

[@monkeymintaka]

They are so smelly! They dried really glossy too. Fun though :)

[@impish22]

how fun, thanks for sharing

[@monkeymintaka]

🥰🥰

[@MartineFeltonArt]

Trying to find those sketchbooks… is it Pitt? Or Piff? Thank you 😊

[@CheekyMissy]

It’s Pith!

[@monkeymintaka]

You got it! Sorry, I didn't include materials in the description this time. I forgot!

[@riverAmazonNZ]

The Decobrush markers do need regular shaking. The ink starts to separate otherwise. They remind me of gouache except they dry permanent. I have the full set but one or two colours were crusty :( I like them a lot but the full set is not worth it.

[@monkeymintaka]

I will probably shake them anyway as I have been conditioned by other paint pens! I have had a little doodle with them since the video and I like them, but I think the nib is a bit too weird feeling for me. I like bigger firmer nibs I think.

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Your hair flying as you scooch forward 😂😂😂 Love the little chest of drawers! Love the channel & your art! I am autistic & way to hhyperrealistic. I want to be more loose. Like your work. You know Basquiat style illustrations. 🔥 🎨 Update: Netflix & chill means to watch a movie & have sex. 😂😂 We artists can put our own spin on it. ✒️🎨

[@monkeymintaka]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! And is that what Netflix and chill means 🥺 😂
