Two girls and an adjustable nib.

By Leigh Reyes on Monday, September 3, 2012

Maleficent: “And before us we have…?” Sally: “A Wahl Eversharp Doric Airliner set in garnet! The fountain pen has an adjustable nib!” Maleficent: “Careful with the exclamation points. You could hurt someone.” Sally: “It sure is pretty.” Maleficent: “I concede that it is not unpleasing to the eye.” Maleficent: “I see time has not managed …

Parker Duofold Junior with a repousse overlay.

By Leigh Reyes on Tuesday, August 28, 2012

This was not an official Parker pen, as far as I’ve been able to research. I do know that personalization as ornate and precious as this was not unknown in the early 20th century. The barrel and cap have been covered with elaborate repoussé work in sterling silver. The sterling silver makes the Duofold Junior’s …

The Sailor of Doom.

By Leigh Reyes on Thursday, July 26, 2012

So what I need you to do while reading this review is open this in another window. Then come back here. Good? Good. Matte and black, two of my favorite things, come together in Sailor’s Professional Gear special edition in Imperial Black. The familiar Sailor clip looks a touch more sinister. Shiny dark against matte dark …

Jill Sobule, my life as a song.

By Leigh Reyes on Friday, June 8, 2012

It was 1996. I lived in Jakarta. I was intent on living a life worth cartooning. (That comic strip, “In the House of Sin,” was drawn with a no. 2 brush, India ink and cream colored paper I would love to find again but can’t seem to.) That was the year I listened way too …

Coming up with great ideas on demand is like reasoning with cats.

By Leigh Reyes on Thursday, June 7, 2012

It can be done, but it’s tricky. The pressure to come up with the never-before-done, everyday, can be terrifying. Where will it come from? Will it ever come? I have a friend who looks up at the sky and mutters, “Lord, just give it to me.” There are those who pray, and there are those …

A is for Agrajag.

By Leigh Reyes on Tuesday, May 22, 2012

I’m joining the Alphabooks endeavor, where people aim to draw a fictional character every Monday following the alphabet. A is for Agrajag. He is a bat-like creature whom Arthur Dent keeps killing by accident every single time he’s reincarnated. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has the best names, really. I can’t wait to get …
