The urge to draw usually strikes not at my desk at home. It comes on a bench during a trip, at a café table, or in the corner of a notebook opened for another reason. At such moments, wouldn't it be nice to have a place nearby to hold the colors?

Gekkoso's new tool, the “Clip Palette,” is a small aluminum palette that fits in the palm of your hand and clips onto sketchbooks or notebooks.

Its design clips onto the “lower layer” beneath the paper you're drawing on, so it never obstructs your canvas, letting your hand move freely. The two-part color surface, though compact, allows for bold color combinations, and the groove for resting your brush prevents it from rolling away.

Leave precise recording to your smartphone. But the color of the sky, the scent of the air, the glare and humidity, the unique stirrings of your heart at that moment—these linger deep within only when you observe carefully with your own eyes, gaze slowly into your heart, and trace them with your hand. It may be imperfect, but a sketch becomes a lifelong memory.

The urge to draw always comes unexpectedly. To never miss that moment, slip this little freedom into your pocket.
