These are all so beautiful! I do not know whether I am utterly inspired by the amazing art and lettering or completely discouraged because I could never draw that well :) I love all of the illustrations! I wish these were all in book form!

I've done another word, selfish:

I like your contributions, too. I like how you drew the capital S in Selfish, with the cascading curlicues.

Today's word is EXPERIENCE.

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

New letter, yay! Today's word is FAIRY. I used one of Ariel Kullock's fantasy Parker 51s. The design is a mischievous devil and a skeleton. For now, you get to see only its pitchfork. The ink is Iroshizuku tsukushi.

You know I love your drawings, but that Kullock cap is great! I love that skeleton! What does the devil look like? (Or are we not supposed to know? Or do we...?)

I have a new word today, FAMOUS. Apologies for the quality of the picture, traveling means smartphone pics and I am not a very good photographer. The pen is made of red micarta.

I was incredibly honored to have a chance to see the book (or, rather, books) in person last night, and hold them in my own hands. They are even more amazing in person than they are on the screen -- something that didn't seem possible. I still contend this needs to be published upon completion.

I had the privilege of seeing these works in person at the LA Pen Show, and I can say that they are even more whimsical and delightful in person than one sees here online.

 

Kudos ! :notworthy1:

Today's/yesterday's word is FASHION. It was great meeting those I met at the LA Pen Show. I had a blast and ended up with a few new toys (Like the red Micarta Stylo Art).

As for the devil... Well, here it is. He is quite mischievous. I really like Ariel Kullock's art work. Sorry for the bad image stitching. I do not know how to do that, but I imagine you can get the idea.

Ok, it was just ridiculously fun to meet Plistumi this weekend in LA! A great way to meet was over dinner, and as she shared 'the books' for us to look at, it did become clear how tactile and vibrant her artform is in person. Both a joy and an honor, and what a nice and interesting person.

 

I hope we'll meet up again! (Someplace warm, eh, Pli?) :)

It was nice meeting you too, Jon. And if it is warm, it is for me! Today's word is FEAST. This red micarta pen from Stylo Art is really nice to write with...and look at. It is polished and feels nice and soft!

      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
