He buys the stuff for me as I use it for my design work and fine art - layout, storyboarding, wireframing and concept work prior to photoshop/illustrator work. I always work out the concepts on paper before firing up the computer, it's just quicker that way.
The fine art is just a 12-years-and-counting hobby at the moment - getting more serious lately - but pigment ink fineliners are still highly useful as much of my stuff is charcoal ink and wash before the oil paints come out.Comment
