I bought two new pens the other day which of course had to be tested out as soon as possible. My 0.1 Uni-pin pen was giving up on me so needed a replacement. So while browsing the local art shop, I discovered Staedtler had a 0.1 pen, and it turns out too be waterproof which I’m extremely happy about.
Recently I came across The Pen Addict website and was reminded of the beautiful Pilot V5 Hi-Tec pens I was so crazy about back in my schooldays. I had to buy it, seen as though my 0.5 Uni-pin also gave up on me not too long ago. (Really didn’t like that uni-pin one much). The Pilot is remain as good as I remember it! …except – the ink is not water resistant!
Overall my favourite is still the 0.3 Faber Castell “Ecco Pigment”.

Don’t know what this drawing is about. Once again, maybe some comments will help me out?

I think it is about the Fairview Wine Estate! They have towers just like that, and even have the scary looking reptiles right behind the towers!
Hi Sam. Wow, I need to see Fairview Wine Estate!!!!
Dad is thinking of a story,
in the mean time we are enjoying the detail and curious parts of this drawing. We think Dad should make stories and you should illustrate them
Very good !!! Pen looks good too !
I love your fantastical drawings John – this could also be a biblical scene like the Nebuchadnezzar one? – you could do a wild and whacky illustrated old testament! Good to have your reviews of the pens too.
Thanks, yes, the Old Testament has some really interesting characters!!!
