Bargain

OK, my wife and I went to some antique stores up in the mountains, and I bought...

...a Parker 51 special desk set. Onyx base, black pen with chrome tip. Nib seems to be a medium, and lays down a good thick line.

The price? $16, BUT she said that entire booth was 50% off, so I got it for $8. Shweeet!

I like buying pens, but I LOVE buying pens at ridiculously good prices!

Blood

Here's a little calligraphy project, reflecting on the agony Jesus suffered in the garden of Gesthemene. I cannot imagine the battle raging inside him, the temptation to avoid the cross, to call down legions of angels to save himself...

What a Savior we have!

Flex

OK, here's a rule: don't try and write with a flex-nib fountain pen in one hand, while trying to film the action with your cell phone in the other hand!

Not the best video quality (grainy, low light, subject not centered, etc) but I think it gets the idea across!

Techie details:

• Pen = 100-year old A.A. Waterman eyedropper fountain pen with gold semi-flex nib
• Paper = Clairefontaine 90 g/cm2 Seyes-ruled (bought in Clermont-Ferrand)
  
• Ink = Private Reserve Dakota Red.

Drums

OK, as a Mr. Bean fan and ex-drummer, I gotta post this one...
