The Sendak Artist Roll

I'll repeat what several others have said already: Stop waiting and just buy it now! If you're like me, you've spent a few weeks looking at the pictures and color combos and trying to decide if you really need this item. I mean, the random boxes and ziploc bags you're using now, jangling around in your backpack are fine, right? You don't really need to spend two hundred bucks on a pencil bag, right? Well, nobody NEEDS something like this. But I promise you, you won't ever regret the purchase. It's exactly as advertised and described. It makes me happy every time I bring it out, and the key thing is that I'm drawing even more frequently now because it is a little work of art in itself, and that is inspiring.

If you want to bring fewer tools, it wraps up and cinches even smaller, for more compact travel, so the flexibility is amazing. A top-notch product that is guaranteed to…

My artist roll is just perfect. I was able to consolidate all my supplies into one container. Brushes on one side, pencils and pens on the other side, zippered pocket holds eraser, ruler and pocket razor. Back pockets hold 5x7 watercolor block on one side and portable watercolor palette in other pocket. I love the feel of the waxed canvas. On the design, The only change I would make would to be to reverse the strap and buckle to wrap in the opposite direction but it is not an issue, just awkward . The leather used for strap is good quality as well as the hardware and zipper.
