Your work is amazing. Refined technique, excellent sense of composition and shading, and they are ABOUT something.

 

They kind of fit the look and feel of the Phileas.

 

I'm not sure I deserve the praise, but I appreciate your wonderful way with words. I agree that there is something about the Phileas. I believe the word "quintessential" applies. It is what it is, without pretense. It's nice to find someone who feels the same way. -- TD

Thanks, cruise. I know Phileas is no Montblac. But you already knew that. -- TD

Beautiful work. Reminds me a little bit of r crumb and tom Huck. Not the subject matter, but the technique. :)

Wow, thanks for mentioning me in the same post with those very original artists. I can't wait to see how far r crumb takes his Bible drawings. And I thought my little project was ambitious! -- TD

Beautiful drawings! Thanks for sharing them.

You help me feel glad I did not leave them lying in the bottom of a drawer, auto winder. I enjoy knowing they resonate with you across the ocean in Norway. -- TwelveDrawings

Incredibly beautiful drawings ... thanks for sharing :-)

      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..

      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
