Still my favorite of the Kobe greens. It doesn’t sheen, but it has a (hard to capture) “shine” that I really like.

I love interchangeable nibs, but they do trigger the occasional bout of indecisiveness.

Prepping my M605s for a Friday night on the town 🎊🎉

Happy accident with one of my very favorite inks.

I have no way of knowing whether or not this is an accurate translation, but I love the idea that a culture saw fit to capture such complexity with a single word.

My valiant road trip companions. 🚗

There’s a system here…

Camping, nursing some post-hike soreness, pondering the impermanence of all things. As you do.

All of my Sailors except one, who’s currently on shore leave in NYC. ⚓️

Playing around with a new ink.

Currently have this song on repeat.

Still so enamored of this ink. My favorite Sailor murky green. Also, one of those chameleon inks whose appearance will vary depending on the absorbency of the paper.

herffjones is going to make damned sure you don’t transgress against those traditional academic gender roles.

Kind of on vaycay, so what else would I do but read a lovely letter and swatch some ink?

Of course, any pretense of ink book perfection flew out the window as soon as I wrote Nihonbashi as “Nihohbashi.” So.

Sunday morning vibes.

Sticking to a muted palette for now.

A Frenchman needs a French pen, no?

@faggionato_stylos was kind enough to make this Pétrarque out of the gorgeous CS Dartmoor acrylic. I particularly love the unadorned Ti nib.

Merci encore, Frédéric! (And @papier_plume)
