Pens Drawn By Pens

First a Chinese made Ta Tung (text at upper left should be sung to tune of Beethoven's 5th). Actually a great little writer.

Very small. VERY small. Probably thinner than a bic b/p pen. Too small for me, really. Maybe it will be a PIF pen one day.

Noodler's Purple ink.

Japanese Brush pen. Camel hair bristles I believe. Plastic. Lots of plastic. Piston filler. Not so smooth,

but from something that was probably cheap, pretty good. Another PIF candidate.

start reading on the left side colomn... it doesn't look like that's where you should start if you read from the top...

and when i say clutch, to rub my thumb on, i mean that metal ring where the section meets the barrel. oops.

It's interesting how we each have patience for different things. Looking at every line of your cross hatches would be painful for me to execute, while I wouldn't hesitate to take hours and hours over days at a time to practice execution of a musical passage.

i like tedium in art. i also like to tinker with watches. THAT requires some ridiculous patience. my block carving too takes a lot of time.
