two drawings


I called these drawings ink and ink2 and when I did them, two summers ago, my pen was wearing out. Because the tube in the technical pen was bent and worn after much use, the flow of ink was problematic. My typical effort to create flow was to take the nib apart, rinse in water, and reassemble it - a time consuming process I don't recommend to people without patience. I loved these messy results as I drew not just with the pen but with the ink that had become smeared on my hands and fingers.
