Journals & Planners
An undated annual planner I made for myself with a unique signature dark and vintage mixed media style and a focus on magick and manifestation. The book opens with customizable decorative pages and an overview of plans for the year ahead and is follo...
"Dezy Delaceur's Magickal Daybook" by Dezy Delaceur
For serious, thorough planning, I highly recommend the Hobonichi Cousin. It has yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily spreads, so you can really get in there and plan and/or journal down to the detail.

An excellent little A5-sized binder I use for my A5 planner pages to put together custom spreads for various purposes.

I love love *love* these pens for notetaking and journaling, and, of course, I had to get them in purple.

I was mostly looking for a nice set of purple sticky notes and a pencil case when I came across this, and I think it's a wonderful little value pack of writing supplies. I painted Kuromi on the top of the case, as well. :P

Visual Art Supplies
This is my favorite brand for acrylic gouache paint which is the happy medium between acrylic and gouache paints. The acrylic part of it means it dries vibrant and permanent and cannot be reactivated by water, but the douache part means that the pain...

My paper of choice for full renderings in acrylic gouache and watercolor.
Arches Water Colour Block 300lb 9x12
This is a wonderful little beginner set of watercolors if you're like me and only use watercolor for specific cases. The great thing is that once its used, you might like to reuse the tin later to build your own watercolor set.

I love this brand in all of their colors for adding a little bit of color-shifting pigment to certain areas of my work.

I use bold linework in most of my art, so of course this is my go-to set that I am always restocking on for my linework.
Sakura Pigma Micron Black Ink Pen Set, 10
Mainly for practicing with gouache or acrylic gouache, but I like to use this as a general sketchbook, as well, so I'm able to comfortably play with all my mediums.
HIMI Gouache Pad 7X10''(98lb/160g), 50 Sheets
Water-based paints can often cause your paper to warp if not taped in place at the edges, so this is crucial for a fully rendered piece - especially if you intend to work with multiple saturated layers.

A technical pen that is excellent for artists who prefer a clean and precise line in their sketch work.
