Last night I dreamt that someone threw a Cross Classic ballpoint pen on the ground and I got very upset and had to defend the history and heritage of the pen.

Ah, the #Wikipedia page for Sütterlin: a veritable treasure trove of 💤 riveting #facts about a dead script no one's used since the invention of the #ballpoint #pen. Just what the internet needs: another exhaustive #history lesson on #obscure #handwriting that somehow merits a table of contents longer than the language itself. 📜✨

This is a #ballpoint drawing in my #sketchbook that I started a week ago then ignored and just did the rest. #realOffer this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if it's yours, I'd be happy to make a mural of it in your dwelling, haha

For a few weeks, I'm making art I don't even understand. Like even why this, why would someone? I guess its because nobody else did it. Kind of like a bad dream. #Ballpoint

America before tv everywhere, before cable was baffling and strange. Now it's baffling and strange, but with tv. This is from an old picture. #Ballpoint from yesterday

Buying a pen that tarnishes…on purpose?

So the big names in what I’ll the functional metal pen space – Big Idea Designs and Tactile Turn (and probably many others) offer their pens in brass, bronze and copper. The idea seems to be that while shiny and new when you get them, they age and gain a patina. Ok, we know from reading about all kinds of heirloom objects that Patina Is Good.

When I got my first metal pen bolt action pen I chose a Tactile Turn slim bolt in titanium. They said it was their most popular, and I thought it would be nice to have something that didn’t require any polishing. It’s been a great pen, and we lived happily ever after. Well, until I got to thinking about getting a pen in a metal that develops a patina.

I was attracted to the idea that the pen would adopt a look that was personal – meaning there would be wear marks where I hold it, or whatever. But when I saw pics online it seemed that no, the pen ultimately ends up the same color all over, and in the end you might as well have just painted it that color. Hmmm…what would be a the point of that?

In the end I decided to just give it a try, and got a Tactile Turn slim bolt in bronze. Nice pen. I like the tight clip, and I got it 4 days ago. I looked forward to seeing how long it would take to show any signs of patina. Well, I didn’t have to wait long:

I believe in a month it will be fully gray/brown. Not sure I see what the attraction is, but we’ll see when we get there!

Trying to find a Parker style ballpoint refill that writes as well as a Montblanc bold ballpoint refill. I've tried Schmidt P900, EasyFlow 9000 and Monteverde. The EF9k was nice but really slippery and bled on the paper I'm using. The other two were just not as smooth and easy.

Any ideas?

Ok pen people, why is dark blue such a hard to find color in #ballpoint and even #rollerball refills? No problem finding it in liquid ink, but even blueblack is hard to find. Kaco used to have dark blue .5mm gel refills on the river, but they’re gone. Monteverde has blueblack in their gel refills, and it’s nice color, but it’s not a nice true dark blue. #pens #fountainpens
