The PCH912 SU is a fun and expressive pen to draw with. This fish is a fun and expressive chum to fly with.
I have three pieces of art in the Posing For Life show at Fun Space in Taipei, China from April 25, 2019 to June 9, 2019. The show poster is here: These images are limited edition prints released exclusively through Fun Design Taipei. This image shows some other works in the exhibit. This is all I have - unfortunately I can't make it to the show as it's an ocean or two away: ![]() ![]() Posing For Life2019. 04. 25 - 06. 09 Participating ArtistsLinn Fritz Dung Ho Kathrin Honesta Hsiao Po Chun Tomoko Nagao Junkyard Sam Wang Li Hsin Shishi Yamazaki LocationFun Space

I made a video demonstrating one of my favorite nibs: the "Blade Turk" custom grind by Mark Bacas from nibgrinder.com
The nib is sort of a super-ultra-fine architect grind, which means the downstrokes are thin and the cross strokes are wide... but not very wide, being so fine.
Here's a gallery of images showing the pen, the nib, and some art I made with it.
The shape is curved a bit, so the line variation changes based on the angle as you use the pen.
It's amazing. The nib is on a TWSBI 580alr which is like the 580al except with some trim differences and a ribbed grip section. It's a great pen, great nib, and I definitely recommend Mark Bacas's nib services for modifications or repair. I will definitely go through him again for more custom pen work... "If MF DOOM was a fox, he’d pro’ly steal a kid and lock it up in a box. But not to do it harm... More to save it from a life of working on a farm. He’d do that kid a favor. He would save her. Just what you would expect from a friendly rapping neighbor." This started as a little fountain pen drawing. I had planned to redraw it but the sketch itself had some life so I added some loose color and it seemed to work pretty well.
"Standing on a cube,
With nothing more to do, Than for us to wait in queue, For a chance to use the loo." I’m back! The game company I work for hit some turbulence and laid off half the studio. I’m still there but it took a while to adjust. Getting back to my own work now.
This was drawn with my Sailor King of Pen (M). What a pen! My Royal Tangerine 1911s is to the left for size comparison. |
