So I’m mucking about in the kitchen slinging inks and squirting bleach everywhere just trying to be creative and scratch that artistic itch. I look down at my paper and think, yeah, that looks pretty cool I guess. Why not take a pic. I grab the camera, almost push the shutter and can’t believe what I’m seeing. It’s hoverboard Harry in the wet ink drops. Except this time he’s got a burning hole in his chest!

 

I’m proper weirded out over it. Am I crazy? What does it look like to you?

This is no Photoshop magic/voodoo. It’s straight from the camera aside from cropping and adding a background.

 

Edit: sorry folks, the gallery squashed my images down from full resolution. Guess I have to add more rank to post original size?

I have a strange association about this: It reminds me of an old movie, called Pulse from 1988. In one scene, an "intelligent" electrical impulse melts the soldering tin of an electrical circuit and creates new connections. The move was not that "intelligent".

 

However, in your image, the ink moves over the sheet, towards the edge and trying to escape ... leaving a final message behind...

Brrr, what a mystery story 😲 , a bit Rorschachy.

One life!

I have not seen Pulse, which is remarkable because I love 80's movies and grew up in that era.

 

It's a day later and this image is still heavy on my mind. I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if its head wasn't cut off by the blue tape. Blimey!

The close-up/detail photo looks like a silhouette of someone doing a football running play while wearing an old fashioned nightshirt.  

Of course, I'm more struck by the lower left-hand corner in the third photo, where the white section under the golden yellow part looks like a "My Little Pony" unicorn, with the black dot being its eye.... B)

Yes! I see that now. Had not noticed that before. I'm not really a MLP fan, although I've heard many older males enjoy the show for some reason.

Yeah, the show isn't exactly my cup of tea either.  A bit too saccharine for my taste.  I *might* like it if I was a 7 year old girl -- but of course when I was 7, I was watching stuff like the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson "Supermarionation" shows like Captain Scarlet and Stingray.... B)

This is very pretty.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

This is bizarre. Or maybe I just don't understand how this site works yet. When I click an image I've uploaded to the Gallery here in the thread, it takes me to a different scaled down version. However when I view/download them directly in the Gallery, they are back to the original resolutions. Why?

      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
