Some days… you just think to yourself I can’t possibly have enough blue ink. Today was one of those days. So, of course, I bought Colorverse Supernova #14 and Colorverse Quasar #13.

Ink Review: Colorverse Sunspot, Black Hole, Vortex Motion and Dark Energy
I’ve decided to dub this group of Colorverse inks the “goth collection”. When I started painting the names of the colors I realized that they all sounded like club nights or 90s goth clubs.

Eye Candy: Colorverse Reviews Coming Soon
Don’t you worry! I haven’t forgotten about the rest of the Colorverse ink reviews I promised. In fact, I got even MORE to review for you. But, as you know, I had to pause for a moment and jet off to LA for the pen show. And I’ve been behind my not-so-well-appointed desk making new…
Ink Review: Robert Oster Spearmint
Review by Laura Cameron So far, I haven’t met a Robert Oster ink that I didn’t like. This is certainly the case with Spearmint, which I ordered recently to try. Spearmint is a beautiful dark green. I was hoping that it would shade towards teal, but mostly I got a good forest green with some mint…
