I think i do have a fear of empty space at times! hahaha Yes, i thought i had started following you much sooner until i realized i wasn't yet. Thanks for the reblog and for the follow. Thanks also for taking the time to check out some of my stuff. I don't feel most of my work is as finished as many of your pieces are... but i am getting there one artwork at a time!
And i think i finally blew out two of my pens on this one. It was like rubbing one of those old felt pens when they go dry against concrete on some areas. No matter how much time, effort, or patience i use... i can always see where and how i could have done better!
those pens don't last long - and I have yet to find a white one that works! I tried all kinds of brands.
What I haven't tried yet is a Mont Blanc ballpoint pen. A artist friend uses it for sketching with amazing results. I planned on getting the refills, but not the pens (which are super expensive) and see what cheap pens they would fit into.
This is his book I helped edit: VANITAS VANITATUM
Dude that's super cool! Your buddy's website is slick and his work is fantastic. I am sure you helped edit well. Those refills come in a lot of colors. Those Mont Blanc pens are super expensive. I wonder what makes them worth so much.
I really enjoy the hand dip ink pens... though i haven't worked with them in quite a while. I love the Blue Pumpkin nib. That whole set on the link is less than one ink refill... hahahaha I think you can get a Blue Pumpkin for $2.00 or less.
I have also been considering getting one that you can fill yourself that has a piston. Here is a goofy dude but his art is great and i think you would enjoy checking him out... Peter Draws.
Take Care brother!
