Otherwise dip pens are fine. I more often use fountain pens now, but most of them don't use India ink, which some people prefer because it's waterproof.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-10597926428380855092011-01-01T20:20:39.258-05:002011-01-01T20:20:39.258-05:00Just curious Jim, why's the dip pen such a dum...Just curious Jim, why's the dip pen such a dumb idea?

The bull's paid us no mind until my brother had to pee. The fence was electrified John let out a blood curdling scream as he let go a spray of pee. Sketch pads pen's and assorted drawing materials went everywhere. After a few minutes of hopping around holding his injured privates we picked up our gear and pride went home. We still talk of our experience when we get together fifty years later.Tim Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560372964672506353noreply@blogger.com
