Hi, I’m Terry. Welcome to my art and pen enthusiast channel. I use to draw all the time as a youngster but stopped due to school, work and other priorities. I draw mostly landscapes; my style is pretty basic and I have a lot to work on and learn. I’ve been a pen enthusiast since I was a teenager. I enjoy watching and learning from the various art channels on YT and hope to contribute in some way. Feel free to interact and share your art and pen experiences.

Currently Inked - November 2024
My currently inked fountain pens for the month of November 2024. My favorites of the month were the Majohn A1, the Asvine J16, Lamy Dialog cc and the Kaweco Original. I used a lot of Anderillium inks this month but my favorite ink by far was the BPCo Seized Gearbox followed by Taccia sabimidori.

July 2024 Currently Inked - Expensive vs. Inexpensive Edition

My currently inked for July 2024. I wanted to compare the writing experience of my more pricier pens with my least expensive pens. Conclusion: price does not matter. This hobby can still be enjoyed with inexpensive pens. Expensive pens are works of art that are a joy and a privilege to own and use, but not entirely necessary. YMMV.

Incredible video review
Hi. Thank you. The M1000 is still on top. All are great pens.
Ironic those are my two nibs for my 912s PO and FA. I needed to put a 2 slit(There is a 3slit) red ebonite feed in the FA nibsmith. Helped a little the feed but I still get it to skip on new words especially writing cursive. Never tried doing lines with the reverse. I like to keep a sailor fude for those lines now I need to test it. Ok it works but you have to lay it low but great for adhoc use. Ebay has the 912 Neo which comes in Green, Brown and Red demos. I have an interest to get the 742 Modernized in green if they drop in price. Just an FYI cause I know how boring Pilot lines are vs Sailor esp in the gold nibs.
Hi! I keep going back and forth about getting an ebonite feed for the FA. For now, I just don’t push. Wow. I never knew the Neos existed. They are beautiful. I recently got a black one with the Waverly nib. That’s nice as well. Thanks for watching and sharing all the good info.
Nice job with this.. I like your set.. colors, tone, etc.. and as a 4 dog guy.. I understand! Frank
Thank you for the kind words. Dogs are the best even when they’re being bad.
I just came across your channel and I'm working my way through your videos. Thank you for all the effort ! Congratulations on this milestone in pen and life journey!
Hi.Thank you for watching. If you ever have any questions about any of the pens, feel free to reach out.
On most of my Pelikan i turn off the light and i can see the ink in the barrel via flashlight 😊
Hi. Thank you for the tip. I’ll try that from now on.
Thank you.
Hi. You are welcome. I hope it was helpful.
That’s quite an impressive Montblanc collection. My only Montblanc, the Meisterstuck No. 12 vintage is very similar to your No. 22. My ink window is amber, yours is blue. The cap band is different as well. As a matter of fact, the dealer at the Dallas pen show told me it was a No. 22. My research proved otherwise. I do love my pen. Flushing and reinking now. Thanks for sharing your enjoyable collection! The pens look gorgeous arranged on your leather notebook cover.
Hi, Marcy. The vintage Montblancs are my favorites of the brand to write with. I love the fine nibs on them. The 220/Lamy knockoff are excellent and pretty inexpensive. I got them on eBay.
As always, I enjoy your videos. You are always thorough in your reviews, sharing so many aspects of the pens, nibs, papers, and inks. I love 140 and pencil model. Great find! I have one similar in size, the m101n blue grey with a 14 k nib. All my other Pelikan pens are m200/205 or m400 models until after Christmas. Thank you for sharing that book. I had never heard of it but will surely seek it out. God bless!
Hi, Marcy. Thank you as always for the kind words. I appreciate you. The Pelikan book has such beautiful photos. I also recommend the Andreas Lambrou books. I look forward to seeing what you have for Christmas!!
Thanks for your beautiful video really appreciate it
Hi. You are most welcome. Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
They even make BB and BBB triple broad sometimes
I couldn’t imagine using a BB or BBB. I love shimmer inks though and these broad nibs would be great with those.
haha I enjoy M and Broad nibs
Hi, MrJeremy! I starting to use M more. I just ordered a pen with a B because all other nibs were out of stock. I plan on grinding it thinner unless it wows me. You never know. 😀
@ it will believe me
Sad schools /teachers engage in selective teaching. Saddest are those not mandated to teach
Hi, Bozo. Do you teach art? I haven’t taken an art class since Jr. High. I sometimes think of enrolling in a community college art class but can’t find the time.
@drawinsscribblins5326 no , I do not teach. It's natural. Since grade school. Upon graduation the teachers was sending me to a art high school. Parents approve of second choice. A college bound program . College was awed at my talent/gift
Watch Shak-MD video on 823. He took out the black insert that obscures the nib and shows how he did it. He didn’t like it either so he figured out how to remove it. Nice nib comparison. Trying to figure out what I want and this helps!
Hi, Kathleen. Thank you for letting me know about Shak-MDs video. I’ll check it out!!
Wonderful video! Thank you for showing your swatch method. What an excellent idea to show the performance of the ink and nib at the same time, rather than just a swatch of smeared ink. You are excellent at repairing pens. If the Majohn X1 doesn’t last long, would you be able to exchange nibs with the black one? I do love my Makralon LAMY 2000 EF. I’ve always considered the stainless model to be heavier. Excellent idea to use the rubber grip. Impressive Sheaffer Imperial! I love pens with inlaid nibs. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in your pen and ink journal. What a fabulous record.
Hi, Marcy. Thank you for the kind words. Whenever the white X1 totally falls apart, I’m going to try to switch the nibs. I’m hoping it will hold on. I was inspired to condition my Galen leather case after watching your video. It doesn’t look that much better. I used Kiwi leather conditioner. I may need to buy some of Galen’s.
@ I do hope it does better with the new conditioner.
@ Hopefully the Galen Leather balm will work better. You may need to try to buff out the previous application if possible so the leather can fully absorb the new condition without being sealed out.
@ Sorry for the delayed response. I had a loading error the first time. Anyway, here we go again. I’m confident you will be able to salvage a good X1 between the two. I’m sorry about the performance of the Kiwi. I would try to warm the leather and buff out as much of that conditioner as possible if you do decide to add Galen Leather balm. You don’t want the first application to seal out good benefits of your second application. I would just wrap it in a light towel and place it on the dashboard of my vehicle on a sunny day, then rub down with that towel. I’ll be anxious to hear how it all turns out!
@@MarcellHobbsExcellent advice, Marcy. I appreciate it. Will definitely buy some of Galen’s conditioner in my next order.
Thank you ! I'm waiting for Poisedon. I love the possibility to write in Reverse .
Hi! You are going to love it. Beautiful color, trim and nib.
Thank you for sharing your method in detail! I love the way you swatch!
You are very welcome. Give it a try. It is very meditative and relaxing to do as well.
This was very helpful.
Hi. I’m happy to help. Thank you for watching.
How do you get genuine items on eBay? I am so scared of being scammed.
Hi. I understand your point. I check the seller’s feedback, other items for sale and length on eBay. I’m comfortable with the seller “penmarket”. They sell mainly Pelikan items.
Love your variety of color for November! Wow 🤩 that Majohn retractable is so neat! I love the Diamine Handel and am liking that Anderillium Cuttlefish Brown 🤎🤩! Thank you for sharing!
Hi. Thank you!! Handel can be kind of dry but it is very pretty. It reminds me of Robert Oster Pink Squirrel. The X1 is a great pen just too fragile.
@ two inks added to my list to try. Thank you and wishing you a blessed day 🫶
I agree the Andrillum inks are really watery but they dry down to very vibrant colors. Couldn’t believe how scratchy the Sailor sounded. Everything I’m convinced I want one…. Someone does a video that makes me say nahhhh
Hi! I think Sailors are an acquired taste. It’s a bit smoother than it sounds but not by much. You may like a M or B. The F definitely gets close to scratchy territory. They do have a sweet spot. My Sailor collection will be relatively small.
@drawinsscribblins5326 do you have a KOP? My friends cleaning lady "stole" his and im watching videos like i have $800+ on standby to get one lol
@@potandpensOh my. That is awful. The KOP is on my grail list. I don’t have one yet but I definitely plan on getting one. I look forward to seeing yours when you get it!!
I have found that I really like the lighter Majohn a2 fountain pen its all plastic except for the insides and its extra fine nib Is SO SMOOTHE and I'm not a fan of extra fine nibs but that one is amazing I wish I could put Platinum carbon black in there but I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out : / we will see :)
Hi, Marilyn. It probably would be hard to clean but worth a try. I haven’t used my Carbon Black much. I need to pull it out. I don’t have the A2 but I have one of the A3s.
You are so right about this month. Where did it go? Isn’t that Majohn A1 pen nice? I’ve purchased a few of them and also the A2 which is nice, too. I know you can use the Pilot nib units in them but I’ve been very happy with the steel nib, although it is a nail. And mine never dry out, either. Amazing for a pen that inexpensive. I hope you’re not in the big snow zone now. NE looks like a mess. I miss those days when I used to live in Milwaukee and Chicago but I was younger and snow was fun then.
Hi, Peggy. I wish I was getting snow. It seems like every state around us is getting snow. It’s so dry here in MD. Have you tried the A3? It’s an interesting pen as well. I don’t have an A2. The A1 in F is just perfect. I rarely reach for my Vanishing Point.
I was here
Thank you
Whoa. You can write with BOTH hands? That's awesome!
Hi, Atilio. I taught myself to write with both as a kid mostly to fight fatigue b/c I scribbled and drew so much.
Totally enjoyable video! Your first pen, the Asvine Vac reminds me of my TWSBI Vac 700r Rainbow. Other than that, we didn’t have any similar pens until you shared the Moonman M800 Amble. Mine does have the Bock nib. Lovely spread of inks! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there, Marcy. You’ve penabled me so many times that it’s only a matter of time before you will notice multiples of the same. Looking forward to seeing what new stuff you have from all of these great sales.
@ 🤣🥰Likewise! I’ve been so busy with Colorvent and Inkvent, I’ve only shared the newest Pelikan Souveran M400 Brown Tortoiseshell. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I know this review is a year old but I'm new to Fountain Pens and just recently purchased 2 Jinhao X159's (Fine and Med). I haven't used them yet so this is perfect timing that I found your review. Thanks for the information. I'm off to watch more of your video's!
Hi. They are great writers but a bit fragile at the top finial/clip area. So be gentle but it’s easy to fix with superglue. Their 9019 Dadao seems to be a bit more well constructed. Welcome to the hobby. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments or via email.
I ❤️ Stipula. One of my three favorite pen makers of all time. The other two being Aurora, Montegrappa (and heck, Sailor, too). I own 14 Stipulas. Mostly the upscale, expensive ones w/14k and 18 k gold nibs. But I do own one of these Ventidue pens (the Ruby Red) with a 1.1 steel italic. I don’t normally like metal sections and finials on resin-bodied pens. But on this pen, it works out perfectly fine. Your thoughts on the 22 pen mostly mirror mine. When I bought it, I didn’t expect to end up liking it as much as I do. Stipula’s pistons, across different models, are usually somewhat stiff - compared to other brands, especially Aurora and Pelikan, which have the smoothest and best pistons, in my opinion. Stipula pens are also usually not built to be disassembled by the user. It’s one big drawback of the pens. I haven’t yet dared to attempt taking apart the piston for re-greasing and such, on any of my piston-filling Stipula’s. I like all their nibs: steel, gold and titanium. Stipula have a certain charm and romance to their pens that is hard to describe in words but easy to sense once you own and use them. Quirky, as Italian pens generally are, I think Stipula (being a small company with laid-back marketing) is crazily overlooked and under-appreciated, except by its devoted niche fan base. Gosh, I’ve rambled. I’m a Stipula fanboy of a kind. Thanks for this neat, well-done review of a very good fountain pen. I’d also recommend a close cousin of the Ventidue in the Stipula family. It’s the Vedo. I have one myself.
Hi, Sajjad! Wow…14 Stipulas. That is impressive. I agree they are overlooked. I’ve overlooked them myself when compared to the number of other Italian fountain pens that I have. I really wanted one of those capless Davincis. Thanks for watching and sharing your passion for these awesome pens!
Nice video. Beware, the Uni Kuru toga! I had one. It worked BEAUTIFULLY...for about a month, until the grip section inexplicably broke away from the rest of the pen. I do NOT draw nor write with a heavy hand. The 743 is one of my favorites.
Hi there. Thank you for watching and sharing. I was considering one of the metal ones but they are overpriced. The 743 is unfortunately overshadowed by the 823.
Great video, as usual. I want a Silvern! You have some of the best pens. Your appreciation for their particular idiosyncrasies shows. Cheers.
Hi, thank you. I love pens!!! I’m a little obsessed. The Silvern is one of my best. Get yours 😊
Nice video. Lovely sketches. I think you are better at drawing than you think.
Hi. Thank you. I appreciate that. I am very critical of myself.
I have two Beiluner pens, a black one and a blue one. I bought both from Amazon, one for $17, the other for $11. The pens are very nice- look, feel and write like much more expensive pens.
Hi. Yes. The Beiluners are nice. They’ve never given me any trouble and are still holding up. Thank you for watching and sharing!
This is a nice collection! Inktober can be tough… you did it so well! I really liked your boat … almost floats off the page. Nicely done!!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Your sketchbook tour from a few months back remains one of my favorites. I love your style.
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Thank you so much, that is very kind! I'm so happy you enjoyed that! Let the ink continue to flow!
Pretty cool sketches - thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks, Eugen. I really liked your scribble with the Wingsung 601A.
Tuned in for the pen but really liked the guitars
Ah, thank you. Another passion of mine.
Pelikan writing implements have always been my go-to scribes - tho' exclusively fountain pens; perhaps because I am left-handed - I could never get along with biros or rollerballs, primarily because my handwriting with those pens, resembled a train wreck ! I digress. Over the years I have acquired over sixty Peli's from as early as the nineteen forties to the present day. I pre-ordered my '40th' & now await delivery - it is the most expensive Souveran I have ever purchased, but under the circumstances, I consider it worth the price. My only small critique is the lack in availability of differing nib sizes - you're stuck with Medium. I look forward to taking receipt; fortuitous tho' that yours arrived on such an auspicious day ! Thank you for sharing your unboxing adventure ! Best, Andrew 🙂
Hi, Andrew. WOW. You are a Pelikan expert. I was worried about the M seeing as though I like fines but this feels like a “real” M maybe even on the finer side. It was over polished or something so I did a tiny bit of tweaking and it is excellent. I really hope you enjoy your new pen!!
Great video
Hi, Richard! Thank you.
Thanks Terry! 💜
Hi, Rob. Thank you for watching!
Are you getting leakage from the Ebonite and the plastic feeds? I appreciate your review. I am waiting for my first Leonardo, a chiaroscuro with a steel nib. I have owned a couple of Delta's but am primarily a Pelikan user. I think that Leonardo makes some really pretty pens. There are never surprises when you get a JoWo nib, they are very firm but write well. I understand that Leonardo are making some of their own nibs, I would love to try one of them.
Hi, Michael. It’s just with the ebonite feeds. I didn’t associate the leakage with the ebonite feeds until a viewer mentioned that they were having the same issue. All of my Leonardo nibs except the one stub have been great. The only disappointment has been that leakage but the pros outweigh that one con. Thank you for watching and commenting. Let me know how you like your new Leonardo when it comes!!
@@drawinsscribblins5326 Thanks for getting back to me. I will let you know what I think about the pen. I am sure I will really like the look, hopefully the nib will not need any tuning, likely not. I will let you know.
The Pilot Silvern is beautiful! I can understand you not wanting to send out the Masterpiece it is such a gorgeous pen! Love all your combos but those two really caught my eye. Can’t wait to hear how they turned out❣️
Hi, Anita. The Silvern never disappoints. The Penlux leakage is getting better. I’m just slowly layering the shellac.
I am sorry that you had a difficult upbringing and were ostracized but I am so happy you got this special pen to commemorate all you have survived and accomplished in your life. what a special gift indeed. thank you for sharing your story.
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words. I feel very grateful for everything good and bad. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you.
I am very excited to get my leviatano now. I ordered it on fountain pen day and now have seen your video. Can’t wait to see it in person. looked very beautiful on your video
Hi. I hope you like it and got a good deal. They are really nice pens. Mine are still doing great.
Damn, beautiful pen! Congratulations! I thumb through pamphlets and magazines backwards too. What’s the story on all of the guitars and Berklee shirt?
Hi. Thank you. Music is another hobby. I did the Berkelee online Masters Certificate in guitar. I currently play drums in a band with my coworkers.
Hello!!! Happy to see another of your currently inked! Your handwriting is gorgeous with both hands! 😮❤ Could you possibly show us how you do your swatches in detail? Adding water to my swatches does NOT come anywhere near as nice as yours! Beautiful presentation!!! Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful pens and inks! BTW, you had a previous video of your new Mcnteik EDC Brass pens. I had already bought one in a fine nib during the prime days sale. After seeing your video, I purchased another, a medium, with 40% discount applied! They are such great writers! Love the Schmitt nibs!
Hi!! I’m glad you like the Mcnteik. I think those pens are the best finds of the year for me. I hope they make more fountain pens. Absolutely, I will show how I do my swatch in my next Currently Inked but it’s real easy…using pencil I draw a square then a circle. In the square, I start on the right drawing very light lines moving the left with darker lines. For the circle, I fill about half of the circle just drawing with the pen. Then I use a wet Qtip to blend. I do it this way so I don’t have to pull out all the ink bottles. I can just use the pen. Thank you!!
What's up Terry! Love the way the Omar looks. I use the same ink in my Magna Carta Denima. I use Ferris Wheel Press Blue Denim. Hey hey they match. 😛You know, I never ink the pen through the nib. I always pull the cartridge out and ink it separately because of that issue with the ink soaking in the pen.💜
Hey, Rob. I need to get me some Ferris Wheel Press ink. I don’t know why it’s taking me so long. That’s probably a good idea to ink the Denima without dunking it. I’ll do that from now on to keep it clean. The Omar is an eye dropper filler.
Greetings from the UK! Thank you for sharing some of your history. Congratulations on the new pen. I really love your videos.
Hi, Aladdin. Thank you for those kind words. I appreciate it and it helps to keep producing.
Congratulations on your grail pen! It looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing a bit about your life experiences as well, very moving and brave. Love your message of always believe in yourself. Thanks again for your videos! 😊
Hi LadyJ, thank you. Self belief goes a long way. Don’t let anyone take it from you!! 😊
I love your Pilot Silvern. I have the Tiger, Dragon and Koala. Awesome pens. The Con-70 converter does not fit these pens.😢 I usually use the old Con-50 (like yours) or I refill cartridges. I just cannot do Micarta. That texture, ugh. You’re going to make me buy that Asvine V200 even though I don’t like vac fillers. And I have the exact same Hardy Penwrights pen. So sorry to hear about Greg passing away.
Hi, Peggy. I hadn’t heard about Mr. Hardy. That’s sad. I met him at be Baltimore Pen Show. Kind man. I didn’t know that about the Silvern converter. I was wondering why I hadn’t upgraded. You have excellent tastes in pens!!
Congrats!!! I also read back to front; and, I also journal back to front.
Hi. Thank you for watching and commenting. How in the world do you journal from back to front? That is interesting!! I’m glad I’m not alone.
What a lovely treasure! Nice video.. you clearly have artist/musician hands.. very graceful! Frank in Colorado
Hi there, Frank. Thank you for that. I appreciate it though I am far from graceful 😊
