Heh... I do too...

When I saw this page I went into my hall closet and looked through the drawer holding all my art crap. I have more than I thought. Can't seem to throw any of it away.

I have my art table in my office and in the side tray I found compasses, protractors, type gauges, inks, pens, a rapidograph (MIB), rubber cement and pick-up, kneaded erasers, cutting board, x-acto knives...

LOL...

I've never stopped using X-Acto in my entire life. I have 2 multi-blade kits and about 7 or 8 just lying around in case of an X-Acto emergency.

Oh I still use my blades too... just last week, I had to measure the angle for a box I was recreating on the computer, so I went to my office and grabbed the protractor, then found a .jpg and imported that into my program to match the angle I needed...

Those tools may be old, but they are still useful...

Uh.. I use some of this stuff still. 0.o

You're so cute when you pop in like that.

Pffft. Chezzers is ALWAYS cute.

This stuff is really cool!

I dont own much of these items, but its pretty sweet to see how they got things done "old school."(literally)

Dead? No.
Dying... eeeeeeh, not quite yet. I am a career artist. I have used just about everything pictured. I STILL USE quite a number of these critters. As a matter of fact, I am currently in the middle of producing illustrations for a children's book. I am using many of these tools daily. I DO Also use my scanner, and printer and Photoshop in some unorthodox ways to get what I want in my end result, but admittedly my techniques are an amalgam of twisted tool relationships. Hey, whatever gets the job done(well).
Interesting post.

I have a ton of that stuff. Somewhere...
