Ooh, ooh, ooh! New pen!

Tell me all!

Where'd you get it? How much? How's it feel?

Dave Shelton said...

Oh, and, you know ... nice drawing...

Well, it's not the 'messiah', as I'd hoped it might be. The nib's a little finer than I'd expected (should've gone for the broad nib?) and a bit scratchy on the page but I should probably reserve judgement until I've done a bit more with it. It WRITES beautifully, but I bought it with drawing in mind.

I got it from Amazon (the US site) and it was a little over £100 – the most I've spent on a pen thus far. The irony is that my £10 Parker Jotter remains my pen of choice!

Drew a page of pens in my sketchbook the other day with the intention of uploading it here and writing about them, so watch this space...

Oh, Mr Chester, you are pushing my buttons...

I'll have less of your sauce, cheeky.
