I have recently gotten interested in fountain pens. While not wholly a stranger to the fountain pen, I haven't really done much with them in a long time, but I have started a very limited and humble collection. Mostly the inexpensive Chines fountain pens that are available on EBAY and Amazon. But I also have a few classic Esterbrook pens, and a couple of Monteverde pens that I have yet to ink-up and take out for a road test.

 

My main interest in fountain pens is artistic. I'm more or less a professional artist and I enjoy drawing with them even more than writing. Find attached a few examples of drawings that I have created using fountain pens. I use many different art materials in my work, but I want to see just how far I can go with the fountain pen.

 

 

 

 

My goal is to continue creating art with fountain pen, and perhaps even create a blog on the subject. While a great many people use fountain pens for writing, doing art with them, while certainly NOT unheard of, is still a bit more unusual. Any any input from the members, both artists and non-artists alike, here would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, I'm pleased to be part of this website.

Hi, welcome!

drawings look like you're a professional!

A professional of sorts...I have a rather unusual job to say the least. But perhaps more on that once I'm better established here. Thank you for the kind words.

      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
