I've tried the Pigma Micron pens and they're lovely, they have the finest nib I've found so far and they're amazing for very detailed work. I like the quality of the black ink too. They're not always good over other mediums though, I killed my first one stone dead because I attempted to use it over acrylic ink. I'm planning some proper pen reviews later in the month, so stick around for more hot pen action! Ha, well pens aren’t all I think about but they do come up quite often.

Is it too big? is it too small? Pens pens pens, it's all she ever thinks about. I first bought Sakura when I came across this comic artist (name escapes me right now) interview in a 2005ish Comics Journal. He said he had found Sukura Pigma Micron pens and he had never looked back to dipping pens since. So I bought one, then some more, then some more. Have you tried Pigma Micron? I do recommend them. They're light-safe and suitable for use in acid-free environments : ) Lovely work btw. tell us more about the pens! Stop thinking about sex. Is it too big? is it too small?

I'll let you know how the pens do, I'm enjoying the Sakura Souffle one so far but I haven't had a chance to put the rest of them through their paces properly yet.

I am SUCH a pen whore. Put me in a store that has any new selection and I HAVE to come out with at least one. I am always ALWAYS on the search for "The Perfect Pen". I haven't found it ... yet... but really it's all about the quest. If you DO find any of your recent purchases that warrant a shout out, please do. I'll be waiting. :) Oh! I am SUCH a pen whore.
