It happened moments ago, and I'm still in shock.
I was finishing up a picture and I reached for E21 to color in the skin tone..... I use it the most, it's a very versatile color.
I opened the cap... and the brush tip fell out... Dried. Stiff. Like a body in rigor mortis.
I tried everything I could. I put the tip back in after soaking it for a moment in water, to try and soften it. Then in an more alcohol-based concoction, which I thought might work, because they're alcohol based markers.
But nothing I tried worked. So I sit here with an unfinished picture, and a dried, dead marker.
RIP BABY! I LOVED YOU! I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU!
RIP
Here lies E21
