While in Japan, in April 2007, we visited Akihabara, and in one of the big stores, around floor 4, I found an art section. They had all sorts of markers and nibs, and they also had this interesting brushpen thing, although I didn't realise how interesting it was until I got it home. It's basically a very stiff brush with a reservoir of ink, and it was a lot of fun to play with, although you need a very careful hand - more careful than mine, in this case, at least - to get it right. These are some of the first few doodles I did with it. toothycat.net is copyright Sergei and Morag Lewis |
