VSW: IM Pei, Louvre, France
This was sketched quickly in waterproof inks. A lot of controversy surrounded the Pyramid in front of the Louvre, by I.M.Pei. I have some of those trepidations myself, but it has grown on me. It was created to allow for … Continue reading →

Kakimori: OM
I continue to play with my Kakimori nibbed pens. I now have both the brass and the steel nibs. I love being able to change ink colors quickly by dipping, yet they hold more ink than a dip pen. My … Continue reading →
