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

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
