Kaylene,

 

I'd be willing to help you out. I'm a printmaker as well doing mostly wood engravings and monotypes. I also have been doing most of my sketching with a fountain pen for the past six years. If you look here on FPN in the pen art gallery you will see a couple of my drawings. I think I am the last to make a post. Check out: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/15494-fpns-pen-art-gallery/page-25 .

 

I have work by a number of English wood engravers; Chris Daunt, Andy English, and Simon Brett. Do you know any of them?

Contact Shawn Newton (watch_art). He is a pen maker and has done some printmaking in the past. He can probably help you out.

Hi!

Thanks so much for your message. Your drawings in the gallery are great! I'm afraid I don't know any of the wood engravers you mentioned but I shall definitely look them up. I only really do screen prints but I have a friend who's into wood block printing - such a beautiful medium!

If you're happy to email across some photos of your pens, that would be amazing.

Thanks so much for your help.

Kaylene

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
