LizEF Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 When I'm reading forum posts, a word or phrase will trigger a "literal" reaction in my brain... For example, at some point, someone must have said something about having "a thirsty fountain pen" which triggered this: I have several of these sorts of doodles. I'm thinking maybe other folks do, too, and I'd love to see them. So please, post your stick-drawings, whether in response to a word / phrase, making up your own funny, or whatever.

txomsy Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Not best, but latest. I was musing about The Lord of The Rings, and realized that the inscription in the One Ring must have been written with a BIC: Done with a Montblanc Slimline with an F nib and a Kuretake red lacquer fude (brush) fountain pen in the spur of a moment. If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizEF Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Apparently we need to have a Zoom stickman drawing class. Maybe we can get @Tas to teach it. Later, @Andrew_L can do an "Advanced Stickmanery" session... 😇 Here's another - someone mentioned "carbon dating": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
