  • State of the Union 2019: Fountain Pen Ink

    State of the Union 2019: Fountain Pen Ink

    In 2017 I wrote my first “State of the Union” where I discussed ink brands, what they had done, and what I wanted them to do in 2018. In 2018 I did the same for 2019. This year’s has been delayed, unfortunately! I really want to get these out before the new year, but sometimes…

    State of the Union 2018: Fountain Pen Ink

    Last year I talked about what ink brands had done that year and what I hoped for this year. In this article I’m doing the same thing again. How many of my hopes were realised? What did the brand do? What do I want from them in 2019 and has that changed from what I…

A nice golden brown and a soft olive green. Brane, which comes in the small 15ml bottle, as opposed the String’s 65ml bottle, is also a shimmering ink but is much…

  • Ink Review: Colorverse Quasar

    Ink Review: Colorverse Quasar

    Colorverse inks are new to the scene inks from late 2017 and early signs were pretty interesting so I took the plunge and bought three of the inks. I was told by Colorverse (who were very helpful!) that the Season 2 “Astrophysics” inks were the sheenier inks so I  naturally gravitated towards them. Quasar is indeed from…

    State of the Union 2017: Fountain Pen Ink

    The last few years really have been a renaissance for Fountain Pens and this year is no different. Lots of expansions and additions to lineups and several standout inks. I’m going to be talking about how various brands have performed this year and what I hope for next year. This will be, of course, focused…
