    Thanks much. Grandma gave me a Speedball pen set that's from way back I want to start playing with. Can I ask you, if you read this, should I be using vellum? I ask cuz I had a set of technical pens going back to teen years and, being a dumb teen, I for yeas just drewbon the typical art pad type paoer. Then one day for reason I've forgoyten I used a sheet of vellum and it was like learnig to walj after crawling around on the floor for 5 years. LoL. I like the brush idea though and either way thnxs. I'll sub up. Take care.

    Vellum is a little slick for me personally, but some people like it. I prefer a paper with a little more tooth - I seem to have more control that way. Have fun working with your pens!

    @@HassonStudio OK, that's what I needed to know as the tech pens I mentioned litterally wouldn't work under a certain diameter cuz the "tooth" you mention would prevent any sorta smooth flow on the teeny tiny ones (you'd think I'dda figured it out by then!) but I can see what you mean and since these tips are like they are as compared to the circular tech pens I get it now. Thanks for reply.

    17:55 - Alen says that he's for the rest of his life going to be working on these pens On his site - Free Pen Guy I invented this Lettering Arts wording as a potential brandmark. The reality of making a dip ink tool which previously did not exist involves sharing and giving away free pens to learn how to improve function of the design. Feedback from lettering artists was an important factor to improve the tip. Some folks enjoyed the pens, provided feedback and other folks wanted nothing to do with an EZ-A and threw it in the garbage. That's life. After 5 years of freebies the EZ-A tip design is now complete and so is my effort with FPG. I invested a lot of time and personal finances to make the EZ-A a legitimate inking tool. Mission accomplished. Alan Ariail May, 2024 Not sure if this is good or bad news. What i do know is this made me a bit sad - "... I no longer know if this art form of mine exists. Anything close would have had to been in pre-digital inking blue lines with a rapidograph or ruling pen, shooting B/W art with stat cameras and finishing with pro white clean up to make repro art for film, comps and finished. Alan Ariail May, 2024"

    Your tribute to Larry and Marsha Brady, our beloved SFC founders, is much appreciated by all of us. I was fortunate to take an Uncial Script class from Marsha in the 90's. Her hand-lettered alphabet sampler is a treasured possession. You wove their professional achievements, humanity and biographies into a delightful informative narrative. Bravo.

    Marsha Brady was my first calligraphy teacher, Summer 1976, Long Beach City College. She taught us italic using Maury Nemoy's examples. I am still a calligrapher today thanks to her. I even saved a canceled check I wrote her in 1976 for supplies, $4, because she had endorsed it in calligraphy on the back.

    Hi Kim, That should be water soluble ink, so warm water and a toothbrush should work. A quick google search shows that there is a Dr. Martin's pen cleaner; I use ammonia based household cleaners when I am using acrylics in those and other pens, so that should work on what you are using as well.

    Regarding your last two messages: I am sure there are plenty of resources that can show you those tricks - perhaps some free videos about that. Some of us, myself included, have spent multiple years teaching and creating online classes (mine are at HassonStudio.com). The video courses I have are concerned with pen lettering (contemporary and vintage) and combining lettering with acrylic painting. If you are looking for something else, look up the Letterheads for signpaintiers, IAMPETH for script and handwriting, and calligraphyconference.org for calligraphy. There are usually local workshops and national conferences depending on what you are looking for, however you are correct; you need to seek such things out if you are committed to learning. The best advice I can give you is: "It's not the time, it's the miles" in reference to learning and feeling those "secrets".
