019 “Rubber Cement” Acrylic, 7″ x 5″

I’ve been a commercial artist for decades, and one of the things I truly love about the profession is the tools of the trade. Compasses, rulers, t-squares, triangles, ruling pens, X-acto knives, paints and brushes, rubber cement, and many others, are fondly remembered. All those tools have disappeared from the designer’s profession, replaced by advanced technology. But they really were beautiful tools, and they had to be mastered.
