Link Love: We Love Cats and Ink! And Cat Ink!

This week is full of delightful tidbits from across the pen community. There is a link to an illustrated Pen Zine, Dominant Industry made custom ink colors for Wonder Pens in colors inspired by the shop cats (of course), Crónicas Estilográficas writes about the Kanji nib for the Japanese Lamy and A Fleeting Ripple lists the pens he would run into a burning building to save.
