I am currently using the mont blanc ink mostly because I am a bit afraid to try other ink at the moment. It is a lovely pen. Well worth it. I am going to try more and different papers. Finding the fancy, absorbent fine art papers are actually not that well suited. Good old white card seems perfect. All fun. Thanks for reading!

One of the things I like about fountain pens is the quest to find the proper combination of pen/ink/paper. It’s amazing how some pens work great in a Moleskine and others need the finest of no-feathering paper. Of course, the choice of ink is almost as important as the pen itself.

It has a medium/fine nib but remarkably can make a variation of lines depending on how you place the nib. In fact, you can get very nice fine lines by applying it to the paper upside down. I like the fact that it is fairly heavy and reminds me of an etching needle too. Just beginning my exploration of it. Thanks.

Good stuff, Lou. Looking forward to seeing more. I found your comments on the combination pen/paper very interesting. How do you get broader/narrower lines with this pen?

Brilliant drawing as always, Lou. Next time could I see a theme developed, maybe with some more context around the characters? You know, “Fish Auction at Dawn” or “Police Station 4 a.m,” ten or a dozen drawings around a subject, digging down in, not snapshots. Or better yet, Political Convention a la Steve Bell. I want to see Cameron drawn (and quartered). While we’re at it have you seen George Monbiot’s comments on the right-wing IQ: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/06/right-stupidity-spreads-enabled-polite-left. Cheers, Mike

Your drawings are superb; the gestures, ways your mind works, and political stance had me simultaneously laughing and crying! Right on, young man.

I was at UBC during the late 60′s and remember Wreck Beach … a naked guy offered to buy my blanket made of grandpa’s ties. I was not naked and didn’t even know that beach was for buff lovers.

Keep up the good work – do you have a comic book series for sale?
