Woohoo glad that we didn't get censored :)

 

Talking of really "stirring" watercolors, may I bring to your attention a fantastic masterpiece:

("La Vida Breve" by Nicholas Simmons, if you google you may find some other photos of it).

 

It's something really worth seeing. :thumbup:

Wow, that's an amazing water color.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

If Amber ever change her avatar again I would be honoured to use the "Lady with cigar" as my avatar.

 

If that would be acceptable to Napalm?

 

Just thinking ahead.

Sure why not.

 

Coming back to the subject - one of the silliest advice I got was to use only FP inks that are both fadeproof and waterproof. Given the current offer - a few pigmented inks - this means that I couldn't use my FP for drawing/washes and that I would eventually end up with a severe clog.

LOL - I love Napalm's work.

 

You can follow the ghostly trail here.

 

 

This all started with ink reviews.. I needed a little doodle to describe shading.... Ghosts are also called "shades" when I re-discovered that the Cyan ghost in pacman is named "INKY", the first ghostly avatar appeared.

My doodles have inspired Napalm

 

He started with these:

And lately, he's been doing stuff like this:

Napalm's stuff is WONDERFUL, WHIMSICAL and AMAZING.

Amber - it took me a few failed attempts, but finally here's your red stripe cigar. And the mandatory silly question: dare to use as an avatar? :P

Nice work!

 

Invokes thoughts of a simpler time, less healthy, more fun...

 

Oh yea, and more fountain pens...

Heh, I actually heard someone suggest that ink collecting is cheaper than pen collecting. My ink shelf says otherwise...

I am very carefully avoiding writing with a Nakaya. There's plenty of folks around here who'd let me, but if I do, I might want one.

More Silly Advice...

 

Try it, you won't like it, then you'll feel better about buying more ink.
