Another Seahorse, With Other Pens


fpupulin

Recommended Posts

Hi all:

 

I just wanted to share with you another drawing made with two of my Montblanc 149s. The ink is an old Montbalnc Blue-black, predecessor of the actual Midnight Blue. The paper is a heavy weight Fabriano Fabria. The two 149s are fitted with a beautiful F nib (two-toned, circa 1994), and a classic M (three-toned, circa 2005).

The citation is from Ovidio's Amores, book I, VIII, v. 50.

 

For those of you who like watches, the watch is an Omega Aqua Terra chronograph, with cobalt blue hands and indexes.

Stunning, a meticulous hand and a disciplined mind, a beautiful and brilliant artwork, speaks eloquently of the Artist and his instruments. :happyberet:

Thank You for the treat!

 

 

 

Edit to add: If our dating chart is correct, the 149 with the two toned 14C nib is probably pre 1985. I have a couple, so could not help but notice. :)

Hi Karmakoda, thank you for your kind words. You are correct about dating: the pen with the two-toned nib is not my 149 from circa 1994, but instead my first 149, which I bought new in 1980 for my twentieth birthday. It was originally fitted with an EF nib (I still have it), but I immediately changed it for a very wet F nib, still good today as it was at the beginning. Actually, the 1994 nib I have is effectively a EF, which I also use quite often for both drawing and writing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
