i had a large stash of arches cold press 140lb watercolor paper that lasted me 9 years(!!)… but finally had to buy some new sheets today. having a meltdown because the paper is different now. different texture, different color. there are weird imperfections in the fiber. AND it was more expensive… cant even find anyone online talking about this. what the fuck, man...

I don't use much but bought some last year and found it very good. I'm still using it. So perhaps a bad batch? Even good manufacturers have off-days.

I think it's worth writing to them and complaining – they are a small(ish) company who take pride in their product so I'd say they might try to make amends.

@ephemeral I think it is definitely still really nice paper!! and I doubt I’ll switch brands because they’re still (afaik) the best paper around… just definitely markedly different from the arches i was using. maybe i should email them to see what’s up


Spent another sunny Sunday at t_cyberhol in Antwerp. This time: *Draw It With Others *with Chae and Kamo, hosted by @ooooo and Joke. Made lots of scribbles and turned digital landscapes into analogue screenshots! I was very tired but it was class. 💥🐌
