I had not heard about Bob Ross’ passing. I instantly wanted a mug when it was mentioned. He gave so much to the art community with his shows. Thanks for honoring him.
Favorite bullet point: the pens exist! And the link to the photos of them! They’re so pretty 😍
Love Bob Ross’s quote. Let go of perfectionism when creating and look for the happy accidents. They’re there!
Love the mug bullet point, anything bob Ross is cool in my book, epic is epic. Hope I win. Plus I live near.
I love that you’re going to have seminars/meetups for the sidewalk sale! Giving it a whole new dimension! It’s always good to make new pen friends.
I’m thrilled to see the pre-order for the new Atlas exclusive Delta Duna in Happiness! This pen embodies pure joy and creativity, and I can’t wait to experience the quality and craftsmanship Atlas Stationers always delivers. The colors remind me of cotton candies!!
The pen name is perfect, too. It’s a reminder that the little things, like a beautifully crafted pen, can bring so much delight and inspiration to our everyday lives.
I live in Muncie, where the Bob Ross show was filmed and now courses in his style are taught. We are surrounded by happy little accidents; we just have to look for them.
So excited about the giveaway. This pen is beautiful. Happy accidents, it’s funny this came up here too. This seems to be a theme for me this week.
I love the Bob Ross mug! I think it really goes with the Happiness fountain pen!
“We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents." The quote, the mug, Bob Ross, just brings me back to my childhood and the feeling writing gave me when I first discovered how much I loved it. It’s probably very similar to how Bob Ross felt about painting 🖌️🎨
You have the Bob Ross mug?!?! 💕
Bob Ross!! He’s part of the reason I ended up going to an arts school. My first portfolio (for HS) included a landscape inspired by him.
I love that you guys schedule a day for meetup and basically dedicate the entire day for it! I’m not local but that’s such a cool idea especially for the local pen or journaling club. Wish more stationery stores do it, but I understand store capacity and hours are something to consider. Have fun during the meetups!
I love the reframing of a “mistake” as a “happy accident”. As someone who works in a creative field, I have to remind myself constantly of the hidden dangers of perfectionism. (Also, I do love the mug!!)
I love the origin of the Vampire Pigeon. The drawing is great and makes me think in a lot of things! However I love to imagine a little pigeon who turns into a vampire and how the red color becomes part of itself 🕊️🧛🏽
“We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.” Bob Ross is a legend and I have always loves the happy accidents. Has helped find the Silver lining in situations that I thought was doomed.
