12 Days of Inkmas: De Atramentis Pigeon Blue

Author AnaPosted on December 24, 20134 Comments

On the last day of Inkmas, my true pen was inked with De Atramentis Pigeon Blue! Not as romantic as a partridge in a pear tree but its my favorite ink (at the moment) so I thought it was worthy of being the last ink of the first annual Inkmas. Initially, I ordered a sample…

12 Days of Inkmas: Diamine Graphite

Author AnaPosted on December 23, 2013

Today is one of those gray, winter days so I thought maybe I’d choose an ink that reflected the gray days for the eleventh day of Inkmas. Its called Diamine Graphite. I expected it to be a neutral grey-black. What I got instead was a very unusual grey-green. My first thought was that it reminded…

12 Days of Inkmas: Rohrer & Klingner Verdigris

Author AnaPosted on December 22, 2013

Today is the tenth day of the first ever Inkmas and today’s offering is Rohrer & Klingner Verdigris. I have a little experience with French but not much with German so my first instinct was to think Verdigris would be a green-grey, vert gris. Totally wrong! It’s actually a blue-black. Yep. Jet Pens does not…

12 Days of Inkmas: Diamine Red Dragon

Author AnaPosted on December 21, 2013

Today’s Inkmas offering is Diamine Red Dragon. It’s a dramatic red-brown. I say red-brown because it is not at all pinkish though there is a cast of a deep burgundy. It’s a good holiday red for sure but its also a solidly-spirited red ink, good for use all year long. Diamine inks have impressed me…

White House Calligraphy Office

Author AnaPosted on December 20, 201311 Comments

I stumbled upon this video from the inflammatory article published earlier this year about how much the presidential calligraphers earn each year. While they may make more money than most of us, the skills they have are unquestionable. It will come as no surprise to anyone that I think this classic hand lettering skill should…

12 Days of Inkmas: Pilot Blue

Author AnaPosted on December 20, 2013September 18, 2014

On this, the ninth day of Inkmas, I give you a tried-and-true classic, Pilot Blue. This is not the fancy-pants Iroshizuku version but the back-to-basics, loyal-like-a-labrador Pilot Blue. It comes in a gorgeous, classic bottle with a pedestal base that will look nice on your desk and last for ages. The bottle has an ingenious…
