The world has now actually gone to hell in a handcart! I won’t talk about it here or I’ll fall out of my tree.

So, early this morning I successfully made some adjustments to a Kanwrite flex nib that was being a wee bit shit. It’s proper ticketyboo now. Yeah me 😉 The rest was spent gardening…

Contrary to popular belief, most of us Scots aren’t white, we’re blue. Like lobsters. And then when we’ve been in the sun too long, red. Like cooked lobsters. I was wearing Factor 50 FFS. And yes I reapplied 🙄

Great episode from the #YeahNahPasaran team, perhaps the hardest working hour that @sexenheimer and @slackbastard have ever had:

Began Bendy and the Ink Machine yesterday, and just remembered I did a piece with a hedgehog made of ink nibs with the Lil devil.

@redbanjer I thought my recent auction house find would appeal to you in particular. So many nib manufacturers represented. I’ll need to take my time going through them. William Mitchell Witch Pens. Osmiroid nibs in the red box… so exciting 😁 #dippens #nibs

Don't know if this counts for too, but one of my grail arrived this morning (thanks to my Auntie-in-law for agreeing to take delivery and carrying this back to me from the U.S.)

Mark Bacas "Architect Hybrid" on a JOWO # 6 medium nib. Dip-tested with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki.

Apart from Mr. Bacas, massive thanks to Lisa, who handled my order from the first enquiry email, right to the (ecstatic, enamoured) feedback sent I her this morning. 🥹

Close-up photo of a nib covered in a brilliant blue ink.Photo of a page with the following text on it.

Raaaah!
Mark Bacas Architect Hybrid!
JOWO # 6, medium.

Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki.
Delmoon Avatar "Sakura Raden" ver. 1.

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in my running hand and capital letters.

"High angle, normal angle, low angle" also written in my running hand and capital letters.

A series of figure-of-eight, cross hatches, upstroke-downstroke lines and chevron patterns follow. There is smudge test next to these patterns.

"Mango Chutney" written in capital letters and my running hand. Underlined with a pattern of vertical and horizontal lines.

Juicy nib. Glossy on this paper (Origin One Multiuse.) Mild, pleasant feedback.

On the bottom-left corner of the page is a box, divided diagonally. Each half contains a zig-zag pattern. The one on the left is thinner compared to the one of the right.

On the bottom-right corner of the page is a sticker denoting the Nib Grinder logo.

Been going through a stub nib phase again and I've been using a few that I haven't used in quite some time. What can I say, I party pretty hard

Line and wash with Dip Pen.
Birth flower of October: Cosmos

Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants or annual plants growing 0.3–2 m (1 ft 0 in – 6 ft 7 in) tall. The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color varies noticeably between the different species.

Try nibs. They are good.

#Greek & #Yugoslavian #AntiFascism in Melbourne’s “Long 1960s”

#yeahNahPasaran ( @slackbastard @sexenheimer ) had an insightful chat with James Hogg, author of ‘“Fascism Can Only Grow in Secrecy”.

An interesting look into the roles of migrant anti-fascist groups in the 1960's with a through line to their lasting impact and influence to today.

The new Ferris Wheel Press Kickstarter is live! I like the look of the pen, but I don't think I'll be picking it up. I love the engraving on the individual nib set, but I can't help feeling that they've really missed a trick by only having standard nib grinds. Considering their whole shtick is creativity it would have been nice to have some creative grinds, like a cursive italic, a fude, an architect, that kind of thing.

Can nibmeisters make architects or other specialized nibs from original nib sizes smaller than M? I have a fine stub Schmidt nib which I like a lot, and wondered if it's possible to make architect nibs from F or MF nibs.

Are the Pilot medium nibs the same between the steel nib on something like the Explorer or Metropolitan and the gold medium nib on a Pilot E95s? I find the E95s medium nib to be ridiculously broad and wet (especially relative to a fine on a vintage Pilot Elite) and wondered if the steel nib medium might be less so? 🤔

I don’t know why I signed up for the restock notification for this awesome-looking nib, as I have no space in the budget for it now. 😭

If anyone else gets one of these, I’d love to hear how you like it.
