A cliffhanger, don't you hate them? You have to wait for the next episode to see what was Ron's grand idea... On a technical note, I variated between my trusty Promarkers and new Neopikos, to give latter one more chance. I think Neopiko failed the test at the moment when the tip of one pen dropped off. Pop, just like that! It's not like it was an old and overused pen, quite the contrary! I have read people raving about Neopikos and sure enough, there are nice tones in the color selection but unless they make them more durable, I don't see myself buying them in the future (unless they stop importing Promarkers in favor of these 'hot, kewl new pens'...).

This follow-up to '269' picks up straight from where the first part was left. On a technical note, this time I used different 'screen format' and 'lightning', and moved back to old, trusty Promarkers instead of Neopiko, due to more soft Canson art paper which smudges Neopikos' mark. I had to change to different paper as my usual paper of choice, Canford 'China White', is out of stock everywhere.

The Exhibition started life just as a random picture featured in the entry 'Art Talk' at my art blog. Soon we came up with a little story around it. This might not be the last we see of Frankie Yashiro or The Critics...
