Editing The Pen Addict 174/transcript (section)

== Coloring Book ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I am. My book arrived. I posted a picture on Instagram of what I'd begun. I've actually done – so I'm going to put this picture in the show notes again, but I was doing more coloring today for about an hour or two whilst I was editing something. And so it's about twice as much as you'll see in the picture that's in the show notes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And it's kind of perfect to do whilst editing podcasts. Yeah. It's perfect, because I can just sit here and just color in. I'm still waiting for Colt pens to tell me when they're going to get this 30-pack in. Their 10 colors is not enough. I need 30 colors. Yeah. At least 20, but I need more than what I've got. The Statler pens that I'm using are pretty good. They do the job quite well. I think a couple of them feel like they might be drying out already, which is kind of weird. I expect that I can just work through that, because I can't imagine that would be the case.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' How's the bleed through on the page? Any bleeding or anything? I haven't started coloring in mine yet.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, man. The pages are like blocks of wood. You ain't getting nothing through those. That's what I thought. I haven't even bothered looking, but I know that it's not going to be an issue. I don't have my coloring book in front of me right now, though, because it's in another room, because Adina took it before the show. She started on another page, which isn't an issue, because I think it would take about six months for me to color one of these pages in. They are incredibly interesting.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' My kids are all over this. My daughter went and got her huge thing of colored pencils and my pencil sharpener and sharpened everything just so she could help out with coloring. So we're ready to get rolling on that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I feel like I want like I want I like this book a lot. It's beautiful, but I feel like I want something that's not nature.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's why I was trying to wait till the ocean one, but I couldn't wait a month. So, yeah. So, Chris, do you take when you're doing your designs for your your pen barrels? They're very intricate and very detailed. Do you ever print them out in black and white and just sit at home and color them?

'''Chris Manning:''' Oh, you know that I start on pen and paper before I do anything else. So I've already been sketching those, you know, long before I ever get onto a computer. So I don't color them in. But yeah, I sketch a lot. I don't understand you guys and your your coloring.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We don't we don't either. This just became a thing like last week. I have learned a couple of things, Myke, one about the pens. They're saying I got several comments to make sure we don't use like alcohol based markers, which the ones we're using are not. But any of them that are alcohol based will bleed bleed through a lot more. And number two, don't go to Barnes and Noble and ask where the adult coloring books are. That's not going to end well for anybody.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Are they are there books I don't want to see or would want to see depending on my persuasion?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's true. That's true. But yeah, I did. I did get that tip. I did. That was that was a very excellent tip.
