A solid month of drawing Sweater every day, and I'm getting faster and better! Time to draw other animals, maybe? I'll post some drawing practice/progress shots in my stories.

HAPPY EASTER! 🐰

A lovely fine nib on this Pilot 912 special release for Pentonote, honouring the composer Koseki Yuji. Even by Pilot's usual high standards, this is a truly excellent nib and I have done absolutely nothing to it!

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and wish I could play piano like Keith Jarrett.

[2 photos] I can't believe I misspelled "Iroshizuku"...

On the left: a beautiful Mabie Todd Swan #4 that I bought at the recent London show. On the right: an 18k Pelikan M620 nib. Can anyone guess what I'm about to do?

This pen was passed around quite a lot at the post-London pen show gatherings at the bar. One of my favourite things about shows is the nerdy socialising that happens after, when people are really excited about their purchases for the day, be it pen, ink, paper, or various accessories! That's what we all congregate for, anyway.

An already astonishing pen given an extra upgrade! At the London Pen Show, I always make a point of picking up some loose vintage nibs, and so this Waterman Ideal #5 has now been shoved into an M800 (well, not literally, but you get me). It's a bit more proportional in size, and therefore replaces the Mabie Todd Swan #4 that it used to sport.

Working on an arrangement — recording to come soon!

This was difficult to do because I didn't use an architect nib, but I think it turned out alright. The three-tine music nib meant that I could tilt the nib slightly and get only one slit to touch the paper for the vowel marks.
