"Blade Turk" Custom Nib Grind on TWSBI 580ALR

4/17/2019

 
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.
Picture
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...

A Foxy Neighbor

4/4/2019

 
Picture
"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.

For A Chance To Use The Loo

​"Standing on a cube,
With nothing more to do,
Than for us to wait in queue,
For a chance to use the loo."

Waiting For a Turn

Picture
​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.
