Pilot Blue cartridge... Who said it's weak and boring? Rich colour, great shading, crazy red sheen... when used in a Pilot Parallel 2.4 ;)

Practice, patience, perseverance

Agreed -- Pilot/Namiki Blue is one of my favorite inks. But I didn't use it today. Today was an R & K Alt-Goldgrun kind of day.

I've been on a quest to see if I could commit all Seven Deadly Sins in a single day. Finally, it dawned on me I shouldn't try for the One Day Wonder Prize for all seven in one day. It's simply out of any question as you can't commit decent sloth while busily ticking the other six off your crowded "to do" list. -- ViolinWriter

Tonight, Tokiwa-matsu in the M300. This is like the 5th or 6th ink I've tried; best so far but I already have it the 200.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

It is a dark olive green. Not even close to a black.
