Wow, I knew that some of this guy's work was getting a little "pornish", but this latest pen to come out, "Robot Love", is just sick. What's going on in this guys mind? Two robots going at it on a pen is really pushing the realms of art.....or am I just being a prude?

I don't think those images are Grayson originals - I remember seeing those paintings at the local library's sci-fi section as a kid.

Just because they are not his original art (and most of the pens are not.. he has an artist do the engraving) does not make them all that appropriate. There is one shown on his home page Grayson Tighe that makes this one look like a Disney picture...

There are limits.... and I think the one I reference above has passed them...

I am far from a prude, BUT!!!!

I'm not too keen on this Robot Love design, but I think for the most part Grayson Tighe's work is brilliant, especially when you consider he is only 18 years of age. His father Brain Tighe is one of the premier custom knifemakers in Canada and his son has already made a name for himself with his unique designs. Again, I don't care much for his Robot Love design, and I don't plan on owning any of his pens anytime soon, but I do appreciate his talent for unique designs and his skill at craftsmanship.

Erm... I quite like the caps! Actually, Robot Love puts me in mind of the robots in a pool of green glowy liquid in Duran Duran's Arena "movie" (the song was "Union of the Snake").

 

I'm thinking these pens are sort of Tighe's high end fp answer to those turn-upside-down-and-watch-her-clothes-disappear ballpoints. (lol, ok maybe not!)

 

His are pens for men who watch Spike TV and wear "Lynx" body spray because they believe the commercials. Bless 'em.

 

t!

 

Edit: RESULT!! I had the darnedest time posting this. Apparently, using the word "Lynx" without the quotation marks throws a monkey wrench into the mix.

ROFLMAO! :P Sorry, but the music and the image were just too much for me. Is it supposed to be that funny? From that perspective, it certainly is whimsical. I don't have any opinions on sexuality between robots...

Never lie to your dog.

I've heard him being 18 for a while now :D He must be in his mid-twenties now.

Yup... we noticed that in an internet browser thread... a very odd bug of IPB.

It seems that he is making pens for a particular section of the buying public. Low number losts of sculpting overlay. I'm not in that group so I'll withold my comment since I remember the last time I didn't getting flamed.

I think he's a great craftsman and artist. Perhaps his talent will be put to good use when he grows up.

I don't think he actually does the scupted overlays. I seem to remember a spanish gentleman did them.

well, the younger folks here will think i'm being ageist but i have to say that I think this answers the questions entirely. There's no debating that most young men are fascinated (okay, obsessed) with sexuality. It's just biology. How you channel it can show your maturity or lack thereof. IMO, young "artists" use this to their advantage a great deal. And of course, the more outlandish designs by Mr. Tighe get, the more attention he gets and probably, more customers.

 

I think it's ugly stuff. I think it's immature and I do tend to equate it with the pen T described. I recognize he has great skill and like Elaine feel that with maturity may come better design. even without the sexual images, i find the designs overdone.

 

I'm not offended though - just not impressed.

      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

      @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
