I use a lot of this stuff every day. I would kill for a Lucigraph machine, they are amazing. One of my local art supply stores just discontinued holbien gouache... That scares me. I do plenty of coloring / touch ups on the computer, and honestly half the time it takes me just as long as doing it by hand. In the past? I use a lot of this stuff every day.

Still have (and use) some of it. I will echo John's comments...though the pages have turned brown, I still love the old comics I created back in the 80's using ink, zipatone, transfer letters, graphic white and crappy old rapidographs...god how I hated those pens! When I show the comic pages I did using duoshade paper to my fellow (much younger) students, they all want to go out and git sum! God…I think I have used at least 60% of all that stuff in the past.

Once regular tools, now reserved for something really special since there's no way to really replace them. I still prefer good old hand crafted cutting and pasting. I use collage as my medium of choice. I find it really satisfying to take sheets of colored paper and magazines and to physically cut them up and glue them back together as something new. I also like hearing people's disbelief when they realize what they are looking at is a collage and not a photograph or painting. Sure, I could learn to do the same thing digitally, and I'm sure it would be faster, but it wouldn't elicit the same reaction, nor would it have the same tactile satisfaction for me. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I mourn the passing of these seemingly obsolete tools not out of nostalgia, or because I'm an old dog unwilling to learn new tricks, but because I still find creating artwork physically with scissors and glue to be more satisfying.
