Smudgeguard

I recently had the opportunity to test Smudgeguard. It's a lightweight, glovelike item worn while writing or drawing to protect the side of your hand from getting stained by ink, crayons, etc. It fits either the left or right hand, and is comfortable enough to keep on while performing other tasks, such as typing at the keyboard or picking up a coffee mug. In addition to being useful for those who tend to write in a hooked position, I imagine this would also be good for calligraphers, artists, and anyone who writes or draws with substances that tend to get on your hand while you work. The website is http://www.smudgeguard.com/.
