Comfortable Shoes Studio is the name of my little studio in Beverly, Massachusetts; here I paint large watercolors, smaller acrylics, and mostly bind books and journals. I specialize in custom bound journals and sketchbooks with adhesive-free sewing in which the sewing is visible and decorative on the spine. If you're interested please email me!

Well look at this!!! Gary over at @notegeist has a pencilog notebook. I did a full sized sheet similar to his log entry, but what a great small way to keep track of the pencils in the pencil cup. I'll have a full review up at some point. #stationery #penaddict #RSVPstationerypodcast #pencils #erasable #notebooks

Second painting of issue 1 is on koofi. Link to shop in my bio. This one is printed on bright yellow astrobrights sunshine. Black toner on yellow and black and white inside. Red staples. About half the second printing is sold already. wowowowowowow. #usefuljournaling #RSVPstationerypodcast #penaddict #erasable #zines #journaling #artplay #artjournal #journaling #journal #maker #makergonnamake #craftyfuckers Number 2 is written, cover designed and I'm working on some original art for it. I'm sitting on the text to edit it a bit better this time. Number 3 is outlined. I'm changing up some of the headings and using smaller type this time. Also I've got more toner and envelopes on the way. I'll be making some no brand notebooks in December with covers that have my musings about composition book marbling.

Starting my morning off with an americano made with @bodhileafcoffee Brazil Ipé. I roasted it to full city and wowowowow it is some of the best espresso I've made at home. Full, rich, chocolaty nutty and smooth AF. Might have to buy more. So good. Add in some nano prep work and a 100% good AM. #stationery #pen #penaddict #erasable #RSVPstationerypodcast

Whoa. It took some serious work, and an almost complete disassembly of the color laser printer BUT check out that clean crisp printing. Sharp and clear. I am sooooo stoked. I was looking at prices for new printers and WOW are color lasers $$$ I didn't realize just how big a gift this was. Repairing it is definitely worth the time and investment. I do see that I'll need a new scraper bar in the image transfer belt unit, which is a measly $15 or less. But for the future, color is possible for #usefuljournaling #repair #fixit #maker #makergonnamake #craftyfuckers

I went with astrobright sunshine yellow. Not quite neon but it is a good pop of cheerful yellow. It also matches the first printing cover well. 30 copies on my brother laser took FOREVER. Yawn. #zine #maker #craftyfuckers #art #artplay #makergonnamake #rsvpstationerypodcast #pencils #erasable #penaddict

This yellow is too dull, I'm thinking a pop of neon will work well. I should have 50 more copies finished by Friday.

Amazing. Sold out in 1 weekend. Love all the support and great people. A second printing will occur with some changes to the cover mostly. But I probably won't be able to get to that until Tuesday at the earliest. The cover change will be printing greyscale on yellow cardstock the color printer needs a part cleaned and I've got to rip it apart to do that. I'm not giving up on it, just finding time to do that work right now is... not happening. #zines #artplay #artjournal #art #usefuljournaling #rsvpstationerypodcast #penaddict #erasable

I never expected to sell half my first printing of this zine in the first weekend. I'm floored and honored and I recognize many names from AJNing and the early days of ComfortableShoesStudio. And, it is amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!! And also I hope you enjoy, I think issue 2 will be even better. #zines #zine #craftyfuckers #makergonnamake #maker #journaling #usethegoodstuff #usefuljournaling #ajning #RSVPstationerypodcast #erasable #stationery

Made these today. The covers are my "marble" doodles scanned and manipulated and then printed. Meta. I've got a few prints with issues. Really having fun playing around with patterns. Gonna have to try.converting to B&W or take photos. I need a scanner. I miss my old epson that died. #craftyfuckers #stationery #penaddict #RSVPstationerypodcast #pencils #erasable #compositionnotebook #pencils #notebooks #nobrandnotebook

A quick tease. Coming soon, UsefulJournaling a zine about building and maintaining a journaling practice. The first issue is about simple journaling methods. Issue 2 will be about conquering the fear of the white page. Pocket notebook sized and made to slip perfectly into the pocket of an A5 notebook.16 pages of journaling content plus a sweet full color cardstock cover and 2 colored staples. Will cost $3 each S&H included. I'm going to test out Ko-Fi's new cheap selling platform! One of the best rates for #craftyfuckers. If you make a zine, consider sending me ad sheets to toss in envelopes! #zines #journaling #writing #selfcare #art #makergonnamake

Recorded a podcast with @theweeklypencil and it was so smooth. Slid into edits, went smooth somewhere along the way the file was corrupted and I didn't notice until I cleaned up the stray files. Gone. Gotta edit all over again. Fudge. But on a positive side @kellnerobscura sent me a package of goodies and woot. Awesome. #thankyou #awesomestuff #gayrubberbands #stationery

Yesterday I filled out my ballot with this pen. I wonder if @baronfig hoped their pen would fill out ballots, because I know I'm not the only stationery fan to use it to vote. #votethemout #blue🌊 #stationery #ink #pen #brass #baronfig #RSVPstationerypodcast #erasable

This is Marvin. Marvin is a 70 or 80s era desk chair and is rad. He's gonna get a spa treatment and some new buttons on the top back. Marvin is rad. Why is the chair named Marvin I don't know. He might be a fugitive. #deskchair #retrofurnishings Marvin is almost as cool.as the desk chair I snagged at Compass back in the day.

If you measure the point of your pencil how far down do you wear it down, how close to the collar of wood do you actually get? Just a thought. Hit the stitches of this composition notebook this morning. Pretty happy with the story I'm telling.
