Shawn although your work is anything but simple (both in the work involved and the results), what I really love most about it - is that the huge amount of inspiration your pens generate (at least for me), doesn't even come close to the inspiration in the ethics and drive behind your other work with children.

 

More strength and blessings to you, with a healthy dose of Metta too!

 

Please keep up your spirited work(s), many people who care - care.

Totally missed this thread ...

 

I just received this gorgeous piece of work in the mail yesterday, and let me tell you, the real thing is even more beautiful than the pictures!

 

I got a lovely woodcut print of Shawn's some time back, and it hangs on my wall now, pone of my favourite pieces. When I found that Shawn was doing engravings on pens, I knew I had to get him to do some work on one of my pens. It was a bit of a wait, as Shawn came up with ideas for the art work, but wow - SO worth it!

 

Thanks Shawn, for another gorgeous bit of engraving!

      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
