@snder I dunno man shouldn't be about the number of reports but rather the merit of those reports.

That said no clue what the context is here or who we are talking about.

After buying like 40 bottles of different inks and being unhappy with every last one of them for daily use I finally decided to mix my own ink. It is a 1:40 red-black pigment ink. One part platinum carbon ink to 40 parts platinum red pigment ink.

The Platinum pigment inks were the only ones to provide consistent flow to my ultra flex writing while still being permanent. Best yet it's more permanent than iron Gall inks. Sadly they only had 4 colors none of which I liked for everyday use as I prefer red-black inks. So I just mixed my own and pretty happy with the color. May increase the ratio of black slightly next go around though.

This is Blue Dragon River a real place in Portugal. How cool is that.

@polychrome Tastes like root beer but slightly more mild. doesnt have that bite a fresh authentic root beer has, but similar.

@cute@deadinsi.de Pretty sure that describes anyone who votes for either of the two major parties in America.

Anyone in San Jose know some queer/trans folks looking for housing? My gf and I need new housing asap. Boosts appreciated :blobnom_trans:

New improvement on my signature. What do you think if the new form for capital P and the terminating flourish.

Also needed to go back to pigment ink to prevent railroading.

@Oblivia I use flash more so I can can see subtle mistakes. Something Id want to hide if this werent practice.

I've been working in a monogram for myself. This is the best I have so far.

@freemo (Nothing like marring a beautiful picture of calligraphy with annotation from a non-descript sans serif font.)

By the way anyone notice in my last post the faint reddish outline on some of the letters (particularly the F). Thats because I'm using a very special ink that normally looks bright blue but with highlights of red. It is really cool.

Image reposted as a reference. Look around the capital F. It is more noticeable in real life.
