FPN's PEN ART GALLERY


Titivillus

Recommended Posts

A self-portrait of sorts... a drawing of the pen it was drawn with. Although I cheated a little with a Kaimei Brush Pen.

 

I need to pay more attention to foreshortening. It's harder than I remembered.

I like your "self" portraits, especially that "51" :happyberet:

Very creative.

Whats a Kaimei Brush Pen ? and what ink did you use?

 

Thank you so much! I'm having fun with these. Not sure what I'll do next: maybe my Knight or one of the 600s? Or maybe I've just found an excuse to buy more pens!

 

Brush pens are pretty much just like what they sound like they'd be: they are to brushes what fountain pens are to dip pens. They built a feed system that brings ink flow to the bristles just like with our fountain pens. They're great tools. If a wet noodle just isn't flexy enough for you, a brush pen is your friend. I have two: one is made by Kuretake, and the other by Kaimei. I also have a Pentel, but it's really not a brush.

 

Both the Kuretake and the Kaimei came with warnings only to use their own inks. They take cartridges and I've never seen a converter for one. While many pen makers also warn only to use their brand of ink, I'm more inclined to follow the warning with a brush. First, even synthetic bristles are more delicate than steel or gold. But more importantly I imagine that the tolerances of the flow regulation systems have to be precise. I've never had one drip ink or flow at the wrong rate in any way. Maybe any ol' ink will do but I wouldn't be surprised if their inke are carefully formulated for specific viscosity and surface tension properties. So for the time being anyway, I'm using cartridges.

Hi Mattias,

 

I just discovered the drawings that you posted here back in September, 2006. The architectural elements are particularly remarkable.

The pieces are technically impressive and yet you are still able to invest them with a feeling that these structures could stand up and walk away. Please tell me that you started them in pencil!

 

My avatar is a detail from a three panel painting that I completed in 2003. Thats me with the cigar.

 

 

Well done.

 

Dave

Caliken,

That is simply amazing. What size is the original and how long did this work take you?

MattiasA, I'm sick with envy!

 

Here's my latest, fresh off the scanner. Mostly done with Rotring 600s and 700s, also the Ackerman and the Kaimei.

Hi Mattias,

As always, I'm loving your work. However, I'm waiting for you to sneakily insert a pen related motif in one of your drawings. You had done this one time (a MB helmet). Perhaps a bird with a beak resembling your Falcon's nib? :D

      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
    • adamselene
      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
