These are the fountain pens we started with, designed for artists who want to use popular flexible nibs, any ink or paint, and switch feeds to regulate the flow. Easy to clean and hard to plug up, these are durable fountain pens you can use for years.

These are the firset pens we produced, durable pens designed to hold popular flexible nibs and let you use most inks and paints. We added the pump so you can work with thicker inks and paints. Press the pump to increase the flo - you get what you press, from a drop to a gush. Great for inking in large areas, encouraging India ink to flow more quickly, and force feeding the nib for a quick start with a new reservoir.

Some customers said they didn't need the pump, and didn't want to pay for it, so we removed the pump and lowered the price. Same great pen holding popular flexible nibs and letting you use most inks and paints, durable and easy to clean.

We went one step futher simplying our Classic Fountain Pens and created a two piece pen. There's no separate ink reservoir. Fill the pen by pouring ink or paint through the front. Quick fill, large capacity, you won't run out all day, and you save a few dollars.

We bundled pens and nibs in various ways to create sets that reduce your cost for individual item while increasing your enjoyment drawing and writing

Unscrew the barrel from the body, remove the clear reservoir and fill it with your choice of ink or paint. Push the reservoir into the body back, screw the barrel back on, give the pen a couple of shakes and off you go. You can double the capacity by removing the clear reservoir. This removes the double wall protection, but the pen still won't leak.

Our pens are easy to clean. Disassemble the pen by pulling the nib and feed out from the front. Unscrew the barrel from the body, remove the reservoir. Flush the parts under running water, shake the parts to shed the water, dry with a towel, reassemble and you're ready to go.

We made our Classic Pens from a material to which nothing sticks, therefore your pen won't plug up. If you clean it from time to time, the pen will serve you better.

Remove the nib and feed from the front of the pen. If ink has dried out, and the nib or feed are stuck, push out the feed from the other side of the pen body. Soak all parts to clean them. Try not to handle the curved surfaces of the nib - you don't want to leave a residue on the surface. Inspect the channels in the feed, make sure nothing has dried out and is plugging them up. To reassemble, place the nib on the feed, and press the nib/feed unit into the pen body gently. Make sure they seat firmly in the pen.

Demonstrators are clear fountain pens that are used to demonstrate the internal contents of the pen including the filling mechanism and the ink or paint. These pens are popular with artists who like to keep their eye on the ink they are using and the quantity that remains.

You can fill fountain pens many different ways, but the easiest and cleanest method is using a piston filling device. Stick the front of the pen into ink, then twist the knob on the back to suck up the ink. When you want to empty your pen, twist the knob in the others direction.

Empty the pen, remove the piston device from the back by unscrewing it from the pen, and flush out the ink or paint. You might have to use a cotton tip to reach the far corners and scrub them clean. When you're finished, screw the device into the back of the pen.

You can use all the nibs we list for our pens including Manga G nibs, Hunt drawing nibs, our Super Sketch nib, Brause Rose, crowquills, Gillott 303 nibs, and our quill nibs.

Add color to your drawings by filling the Brush Tool with watercolor or colored ink and brush it onto your drawings

You can also wash your drawings. This technique involves "painting" your drawn lines with water or dilute ink. This gives your drawings sublte shading, and turns your two dimensional drawings into what's often called "2-1/2 D drawings". Fill the Brush Tool with water or dilute ink, snap it onto the back of your Classic pen, then draw your lines, spin the pen in your hand half a turn, wash your lines, spin the pen again half a turn and continue drawing.

Fill the Brush Tool with water or dilute ink, press the it onto the back of your Classic pen, and you're ready to paint or wash your drawings. Use the nib to draw your lines, spin the pen a half turn, brush on paint of wash your drawings, spin the pen another half turn, and draw more lines.

It's a device that enhances the performance of flexible nibs. It rests on top of the nib, and stores ink in the space over the nib. This continues to feed ink to the nib when the nib flexes backwards and rises off the underfeed. The tip of the overfeed slides into the gap between the two tynes as they separate and acts like a bridge to continue the steady flow of ink to the tip. 

We provide overfeeds for our large flexible nibs, including Manga G nibs, Brause Rose nibs, our Sketch nibs and Hunt drawing nibs. You can't use overfeeds with crowquills.
