Ink as an Art Form

I personally own a Mac laptop, an iPhone 4 and an iPod, all of which I love and adore. However being a closeted neo-Luddite, I found myself growing nostalgic for old-fashioned ink. My initial idea was to find a classic fountain pen, with which to write notes to clients, friends and family. But, when I happened upon a compact Caran d’Ache pen, I immediately fell in love. Caran d’Ache is a Swiss brand better known for their beautiful colored pencils; but since purchasing one of their wonderful pens, I’ve found that I simply cannot stop sketching with it. I love feeling the way the ink glides from the tip onto paper and though my drawing skills may have a ways to go, the practice is a lot of fun!
