Has Anyone Heard Of Henry Simpole?

[curioti]

Sort of an opposite of chaos theory and fractals?

Oh, be VERY careful asking me questions like that. I am likely to drone on and on about them. It is the reason my wife has learned to never ask me about fountain pens: my answer is deadly geeky.

 

I would argue that chaotic systems and fractals are both outputs created by the physics of the system's structure and the actions of the variables and agents in the system. One can get a chaotic output out of a complex system with simple rules being followed by agents. One can also get more predictable phenomenon. We often approach chaotic systems through complexity theory based models. It is just a non linear deterministic system. Hard to attack with a math based approach (see the three planet problem and Poincare). I am working on a choatic system that has fractility right now. We are using a complexity and agent based modeling approach that is proving very evvective in finding the phase transition points. (Don't tell the economists!)

I am waiting to see the Persian inspired design that Ghost Plane is working on. Also, I wonder if Henry will be willing to make another Ant overlay like Curioti's.

 

Oh, heck, I wouldn't mind if you asked Henry to duplicate it. Very flattering that anyone would even think of it. Of course, my initials are built into the design, so you would have to alter that unless they happen to be BV. I think that Henry would still have the drawings and therefore could easily duplicate it. Apparently that ant CAn move a rubber tree plant....

[curioti]

Except for those of us it's driving nuts as we hunt for the design!

 

I'll know it when I see it.

 

Be positive GP - just think of the pleasure you will be experiencing from the day that you do

 

It takes a long time to get the right idea or theme. But don't feel that you have to create it exactly in your head. The reason God gave us artists is so that we mere mortals can bring a fuzzy idea to them and have it turned into the masterpiece we can't visualize. Run some ideas by henry. I started by searching google images for things that struck my fancy. I sent a bunch to Henry and the next thing I knew, he nailed my vision better than I could have imagined.

 

I spent about 7 years looking for what I wanted, but it did not exist. That is the beauty of a custom pen. You don't have to wait for someone else to produce exactly what you want. Trust in the muse!

Actually Henry came up with his usual brilliant solution, but now I'm back to waiting for my next chance at the Persian Diversion to try and get the next piece of the puzzle.

I cant afford one of Henry's bespoke pens, so, I will wait to see what Ghost Plane comes up with. I am intrigued by the Persian and/or the B'ahai inspired theme of the design she is working on.

[Pepin]

wow. really beautiful pens. Don't know how I missed this thread.

I'm open to sharing the design [when it's finalized - which is driving me nuts trying to get my hands on the script I want :bonk: ] I'm more than willing to have him put it up here to see if other folks want one, too.

 

I don't care if it's exclusive. I just want my dream pen, done by Henry.

Glad to see that Chris is on the mend,[you stay well now, you hear?] What on earth does WUB mean? Never heard of it!!! No doubt someone will enlighten this audience!

Great to hear that things seem to be gathering pace Re: 'The Pen', so what stage are we at now pray tell?

[Ghost Plane]

Still waiting on the Persian Diversion to find a pretty font for the line I want.

[Chris Chalmers]

Thank you Truffle Finder, for your kind wishes............and 'wub' is the typed description behind the or the

or maybe the

 

GP - you can't rush a decision of this importance, so we all have to wait until The Persian Division gets done!!

I'm very sure Henry is busy with other pens............there is a strange rumour that another will be heading to Tassie any day!!!

 

I wonder how many of us will have a new Henry Simpole Pen this week????

[billydo]

Hi all, you may like to learn that Henry's latest bespoke design, The Roses Pen, is now featured on his website: www.henrysimpole.com

 

Hope you like it Soki!

Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a stunning pen! I am lost for words - and know that it will be a much loved Treasure for a special person.

 

The Christmas Helpers have been busy flying pens south for the Winter..........watch this space!

[Truffle Finder]

That is quite a pen, he is getting pretty good isn't he?!!! I'm sure I will order a 'Bespoke' pen from him one day! I am lucky to have seen Soki's pen overlay as it was being made, and I know he has put a lot of love into it's production.

Merry Christmas Soki.

Thanks Truffle! If only you could see it in its entire glory!!! I think you meant to say "He's getting better, isn't he"?..... Henry has always been brilliant.

 

My pen arrived today and I just cannot take my eyes or paws off )

 

Will post some photos soon (when I can prise it out of my paws long enough to hold a camera).

 

Thank you Henry, if you are reading this!!!!

 

Soki xx

OK, here are some photos (my first try at uploading photos on the new site) :

 

Gee, it didn't work, but at least the link is here.

Thanks, Ondina! I really love it! However, all the credit should go to Henry.

Time to begin stalking the Persian Diversion. :hmm1: I'm getting impatient to begin.

[Ipsilon]

Please excuse my ignorance, but I had never heard of Henry Simpole before. Those pens are exquisite!

 

How do I get one?
